With a strong focus on brand strategy, Haylee designs brands that stand out on the shelf and online. Haylee believes that design should create a connection, which is displayed through my elevated yet approachable aesthetic. She primarily works in the CPG space, designing better-for-you brands for emerging food, beverage, and wellness companies.
You can find her dreaming up my next trip, snacking on something tasty, drinking a drip coffee (with a splash of oat milk, please), and ogling brand design every single day.
