Hi. i’m Dorothy.
I am a creative director, brand builder, designer, innovator, copy writer, brand strategist, visionary, mentor and manager. My core experience is in global consumer goods on both the client and creative sides of the business. As a senior design manager at Unilever for many years and launching my own design consultancy, I have gained a unique perspective. It takes this type of experience to be able to understand the pulse and equity of existing brands vs developing a brand story and identity from scratch. I process information and project challenges quickly and efficiently to develop successful creative campaigns that get real bottom line results. I take pride in being an excellent communicator and presenter. I create content and present all creative campaigns to executive management teams, have won large global brand accounts and manage all client communication and RFP submissions.
Assisting many start-ups over the years has inspired me to introduce a new innovative skincare line as a co-owner and creator. Being involved in every step from naming, branding, formula development, social media content creation, photography, sales, shipping and consumer experience has made it possible to pass this learning down to my clients so they can benefit from our successes and challenges. This has made me a stronger and incredibly resourceful creative ally. lightningboltskincare.com | @lightningboltskincare
Sustainability in the marketplace has been a passion of mine, which has translated into my interest in sustainable architecture and construction. In partnership with an architect, we have developed a residential design project with emphasis on sustainability and use of green and eco-friendly materials. This project has jumpstarted a collaboration with influencers and followers as the brand is developing. solhouseretreat.com | @solhausretreat.
