# Jennie (McGee) Oliver, CSW > Creative Director, specializing in CPG branding and packaging | Storytelling | Design Strategy Location: Santa Rosa, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jenniemcgeeolivercsw Creative storytelling is at the core of everything I do. I believe in the power of design to not only build brands but to shape perception and inspire genuine connection – all while keeping a sense of curiosity, humor, and collaborative spirit alive. For me, design is about more than aesthetics; it’s about crafting visual narratives that communicate, captivate, and deliver results. With extensive experience in creative direction for consumer packaged goods, I specialize in delivering impactful solutions through branding, packaging, and omni-channel campaigns. My background spans art direction, team mentoring, strategic thinking, print and digital asset development, and cross-functional collaboration. I thrive in fast-paced environments, balancing multiple priorities while ensuring transparent communication and adherence to deadlines and budgets. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of leading creative strategy for renowned names such as Terlato Wine Group and E&J Gallo Winery. I’ve launched successful brand and packaging campaigns, delivered cost-saving initiatives, and earned industry recognition with honors from GRAPHIS, GD USA, IHAF, HOW Marketing, and more. I’m driven by the opportunity to empower brands to stand out, tell their stories authentically, and achieve their business goals. Whether you’re seeking a creative partner to lead innovative campaigns, elevate your visual identity, or mentor your team, I’m passionate about bringing brands to life in ways that resonate and endure.
