Hi. I’m Cleo. I’m so happy that you’re here.

I’m a graphic designer, design strategist, and creative director with more than a decade of experience. I have a BFA in Graphic Design from Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

Until summer of 2023 I was the creative director at Design B&B — a brand design and strategy agency based in Chicago. In that role I had the opportunity to lead work with global organizations including Kimberly-Clark, Proctor & Gamble, Kellogg (now Kellanova), Mars, Clorox, Johnson & Johnson (now Kenvue), and Bayer. I’ve gotten to lead major redesigns on well known brands that I’m a personal fan of (Eggo, Cottonelle, and Kleenex to name a few!), but also had the joy of working with small start-ups and non-profit organizations, which I find uniquely rewarding.

Before my career in design I spent 20 years training to be a professional ballet dancer, and while it may seem unrelated, my first career has a lot to do with how I approach design work: even the smallest things deserve our careful attention, because the details have to come together to create the big picture.

I’ve recently moved back to my home town, Denver, Colorado to freelance full time (and run on more mountain trails!). I work with agencies, and with clients directly. I would love to hear about your project.
