What I'm looking for

I'm seeking full-time remote employment or long-term contracts in brand, packaging, artwork or presentation design, where I can deliver retail-ready work across markets and work effectively with distributed brand teams.

I've built brand identity systems, packaging and retail artwork for food, hospitality, retail and professional services clients for 14 years.

At Neish Creative Group, I supported Nestlé Cereal Partners Worldwide and Nestlé Professional across the Anglo-Dutch Caribbean. I adapted Trix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Nesquik packaging to meet regional nutritional, regulatory and language requirements.

Previously, I designed Maggi packaging, NESCAFÉ machine artwork and POS, and We Proudly Serve Starbucks franchise kits across 12 Caribbean and Latin American territories. I also delivered campaign, OOH, print and motion work for retail deadlines.

Through DwayneChris Design, I create identity systems from logo through guidelines, signage, web and social templates, while producing print-ready packaging and product artwork. I also run a 3D rendering pipeline and create PSD and Figma device mockup kits under Vertex Lab.
