As a designer at Kaleidoscope, I helped evolve Café Bustelo’s distinctive visual identity for its expansion into ready-to-drink beverages.

As Design Manager for Good Measure, I served as the internal design lead for a packaging redesign aimed at making the brand easier to recognize without losing the blood sugar-friendly benefit consumers cared about.
Partnering with our agency and cross-functional team, I helped guide the new brand hierarchy and advocate for a bolder evolution of Good Measure’s visual identity. The resulting system doubled on-shelf recognition and increased brand awareness by 100%, contributing to continued growth across retail and e-commerce.
As Art Director for Blue Buffalo, I translated the Life Protection Check campaign into a flexible visual system designed to help pet parents better understand their dogs’ individual and nutritional needs.

The broader campaign expanded nationally across retail and digital touchpoints, generating 685M+ estimated impressions.
As a Senior Designer at COOLA, I helped evolve the brand beyond its sunscreen roots as it expanded into skincare and reached a broader beauty consumer.

As a Senior Designer at Kaleidoscope, I co-led the development of Folgers Noir, an exploration of how far the legacy brand could stretch into premium coffee.
