My work at Pepsi Co. was concentrated as a 360 Brand Designer within the Tea Brands and the Pepsi Lipton Partnership. I worked cross-functionally with global agencies of record, and in-house groups from a macro-to-micro level to create purpose-driven campaigns for the largest and most premium brand in the Pepsi-Lipton portfolio.

From influencer outreach, out of home activations, package design, brand building, and innovation - my role at PepsiCo serves as a massive period of growth for me as a designer. With the wealth of my previous experience in the DTC start-up space and working at agencies, I really got to refine my arsenal at such a large company with such a breadth of opportunities. I got to take ownership of a brand and help it develop through the post-COVID consumer market to be the tea portfolio's largest revenue earner at the end of 2021. The experience I got in-house is invaluable and allowed to me to gain a more overarching, zoomed-out, visionary lens well beyond the pixel.

THE CAMPAIGN

Pure Leaf “No” Grants campaign is dedicated to ensuring society allows women the space to say no - by celebrating and removing barriers so women can finally say yes to their well-being. We partnered with the most decorated American track & field athlete in history, Allyson Felix, and the Fair Play coalition to spearhead this campaign.


MY ROLE

My role in this campaign included establishing a partnership and co-branded style guide that influenced all campaign asset collateral at every touch point. This included photography direction, supers, co-branded assets, and maintaining visual cohesion across Television, Digital, Social, and OOH.
