Cirque Chicago

An award winning, lavish networking event hosted by CSSI Marketing + Culinary, celebrates the National Restaurant Association tradeshow in Chicago. For over a decade, I designed the ambient videos, signage, menus, marketing emails, and landing pages for this annual event, bringing each year's theme to life. It served as a multi-year opportunity to push my creative boundaries while preserving the brand integrity of all sponsors represented.

Custom Culinary: Top trends

From hype videos to attention-grabbing sales collateral, working with Custom Culinary gave me the chance to show off my range as a designer. I created marketing materials to promote their annual food trends program, with a strong emphasis on original illustrations and motion graphics. I also spearheaded their craft burger campaign, stacked with ideas for turning core ingredients into serious profit magic.

Here are a few brands that I've worked with.

At its peak, Marbles the Brain Store had over 37 brick-and-mortar stores in America’s biggest malls and a bustling online shop, all dedicated to games that give your brain a workout. I got to flex my creative muscles across brand design, marketing emails, in-store signage, and even the layout of investment booklets and catalogs—basically helping brains and brands level up at the same time.

For the USA Cheese Guild, I created more than a dozen comprehensive teaching videos that shared the story of American dairy with retailers around the world. The videos served up the dos and don’ts of selling, bringing the delicious details of USA cheese to the forefront.
