Hi, I’m Chelsea.

I prefer to lead with warmth and curiosity and have a desire to elevate brands that actively work to build a more inclusive and sustainable future.

I've had nearly 15 years of experience as a design leader, in agency roles and as a studio owner. I understand how universally important it is to work in a way that’s rooted in deep listening and committed to emotional resonance. I’m currently a Creative Director at Pivot Design. My work has spanned across numerous industries, including restaurants and hospitality, fashion, finance, healthcare, and tech. As creative director, I lead the development of design strategy and implementation for major client branding initiatives and multichannel campaigns.

When not making on a screen, I enjoy making in the kitchen and witnessing the ways you can build community around a table. I co-hosted a monthly cookbook club for a year that planted the seed for co-founding Twice Nourished, a collaborative event series centered on women, food, creativity, and connection in Chicago.
