During my six-year tenure on Office Depot’s in-house creative team, I helped lead a comprehensive brand refresh across private-label categories—from educational toys to ergonomic seating. One standout element was the redesign of the company’s shipping boxes, created as part of a larger effort to visually unify the customer experience across platforms. Inspired by the concept of “Thousands of Products Within Reach,” we developed a packaging system that used custom icons and bold branding to create a playful, informative visual language. The box itself became a storytelling device—anchoring the refreshed brand identity not only in physical touchpoints but also across broadcast TV, OLV, digital ads, and UGC campaigns. It served as a key brand signature: instantly recognizable, on-message, and woven into the full 360° content ecosystem. This design approach helped reinforce brand perception, streamline the e-commerce journey, and establish private-label lines as core elements of Office Depot and OfficeMax’s revitalized identity.

I led a comprehensive brand revitalization for Novecento, a classic Argentinian bistro looking to attract a younger international audience. Working closely with their leadership, we introduced fresh, vibrant visuals and a modern brand voice—transforming the restaurant’s identity and customer experience while still honoring its culinary heritage.

As creative lead for Discovery’s product integration division, I helped develop multiple “advertainment” strategies that seamlessly blended brand storytelling with entertainment content. These campaigns boosted audience engagement by integrating partner products into compelling, high-quality segments—reinforcing Discovery’s reputation for innovation while delivering value for advertisers through immersive, story-driven placements.

For a newly launched family-owned brand with a playful product line, I led a complete branding and packaging refresh to infuse a fun, personal touch. We created an approachable visual identity and vibrant packaging system that pops off the shelf—laying the groundwork for a memorable customer experience and the brand’s future growth.
