I’m a seasoned art director and designer who thrives on pushing boundaries, exploring new avenues, and leaving a lasting impact through creative work.

If you’re ready to embark on a captivating journey to elevate your brand and captivate your audience, let’s collaborate and make magic happen! In my earlier years, I focused on branding, visual identity work, and traditional marketing and advertising. I dabbled in both print and web design, and my expertise even extended to UI/UX design for websites, apps, and software. However, around ten years ago, I stumbled upon an exciting new realm—humorous and topical social media content and content marketing for brands.

    uniE621 Denny's on Demand
    https://www.twine.net/signin In recent years, the restaurant industry has been dealing with a decline in foot traffic, leading to a crisis amongst many brands. To adapt, the demand for delivery and takeout options has skyrocketed. Denny‘s, a leading family dining chain, needed to create an innovative online ordering system to provide customers with an easy and quick way to order its iconic dishes. Thus, it faced the daunting task of reorganizing the traditional online ordering system to capture America‘s attention. Denny‘s partnered with EP+Co to launch their Denny’s on Demand food delivery service to restaurants around the country. My role as art director and designer was to revamp Denny’s takeout packaging and create something that would reflect the brand heritage while giving the new service a modern and distinctive launch. The packaging focuses on the ever–growing social media following of Denny‘s and encourages customers to check them out and engage with them online as they enjoy their meals in real life. graphicdesigner branding designer packagedesign
