I run ADAMS CREATIVE, a one-woman creative studio with big-agency instincts. For years, I've been shaping brands, designing packaging that earns its shelf space, and helping products show up with confidence. My sweet spot is brand identity, CPG and packaging design, product innovation, and creative direction - and I've been blessed to partner with big-name brands like Simple Mills, Hostess, Tyson, Secret, All Free + Clear, Meijer, and Blanton's bourbon. I'm hands-on, strategic, and detail-obsessed (in a good way). I love pushing ideas forward, elevating the story, and creative work that's not just beautiful - but smart, intentional, and built to perform. I'd love to work with you.
