Hire the Best Packaging Designers in New Jersey

A graphic designer with corporate sized experience, molded from a gift for design, a love for branding, and a passion for bringing the two together. I strive to build relationships and help market successful business endeavors. ​ Incorporating a passion for point of purchase design and unique branding led to the idea that both can be done seamlessly and with no work to you, the customer. I look to solve your creative needs, and communicate these ideas that inspire, inform, or captivate your consumer or clientele. I specialize in developing overall layout and production design for a multitude of mediums including in-store marketing, P.O.P., advertisements, logos and branding, magazines, corporate reports and style guides. There is no project too large, or too small.

Experienced professional with 16 years of design experience in freelance, agency, and corporate settings. I currently freelance full-time. Previously I worked for A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts designing packaging and in-store signage, and Elemental Design (Agency) as their Lead Designer. Other industries I have worked in include video games, podcasts, interior design, tea and coffee, software, and non-profit organizations. I also have a background in programming and 3D animation, which gives me a unique and adaptable skillset. I used my programming knowledge at A.C. Moore to rapidly automate the creation of 1,200 unique pieces of packaging. I also have AI experience using Midjourney. I have extensive animation experience, being strongly proficient in After Effects. I have a strong commitment to quality and creativity, and would love to help you bring your ideas to life!
