Background
An award-winning designer, art director, and overall brand builder, Meredith has spent the majority of her career helping companies tell their stories in meaningful ways. As a result, she has the unique ability to work in many styles. Her early experience started in New York City with internships at Seventeen Magazine and Betsey Johnson, followed by creative roles at agencies in New Hampshire and Boston. Before merging with Cookson Communications in 2016, she owned her own creative design agency, MSNCreate. Along the way, she worked on creative for household names like Charmin, Naked Juice, Jack-in-the-Box, MegaFood and Petco. In addition to her role at Cookson, Meredith volunteers as an illustrator for The Superhero Project, an organization where artists design alter-egos imagined by kids and teens with serious health challenges.
Education: Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration from Syracuse University
Passions
The creative process: Meredith is a firm believer that the best brands are set apart by impeccable design and consistency. Above all, she’ll uncover your company’s mojo and use it to make your brand look awesome and unique.
Drawing cute animals, pop culture, fitness and her family (not necessarily in that order): An accomplished horsewoman, Meredith can be found at the barn most nights riding her horse. In her downtime, Meredith watches too many films and probably doesn’t do enough yoga. She hopes to someday do a handstand without fearing for her life. In addition, she and her husband Dan can be found taking last-minute trips to NYC to see The Tonight Show and SNL, hanging out with their hedgehog Tilton or journeying to NY’s Hudson Valley to visit her daughter Chloe.
