Vivienne is a Group Creative Director with over two decades of experience on such brands as Old Navy, Match, Eventbrite, Burger King, Jell-O, Volkswagen, Coke Zero, Microsoft, Joybird, Kraft, and more.

Viv comes from a line of creative hotshops including Mad Dogs & Englishmen and Crispin Porter + Bogusky. A self-proclaimed “bi-creative,” she writes and art directs — crafting a manifesto as comfortably as she oversees a color-session. Viv is a natural collaborator, but is also perfectly content working solo.

Vivienne enjoyed a successful freelancing career after having kids. This period of “agency tourism” as she likes to call it, brought her to shops all around the country like RGA, Vice, Mojo Supermarket, Tombras, Cactus, Barkley, Fortnight, Ogilvy, McCann, Vayner, and more.

Vivienne is happiest when she's coming up with ideas. She created a mom blog while on maternity leave and a coloring book while home with young kids. Her ability to see the humor in experiences like pumping while driving, sucking pomegranate seeds out of noses, and being a survivor of multiple international flights with children under seven, have proven invaluable on the various mom brands she’s been called to work on.

Vivienne’s work has been recognized by Cannes, the One Show, the Andys, The London International Awards, and the Mercury Radio Awards, and has been written up by Adweek, Time Out, Ad Age, Communication Arts, and Creativity.

A true lover of ideas , Vivienne is a champion for creativity both at home and at work. You can follow her kidcentric efforts around creativity at ThisIsMomBrain.com.

This is Mom Brain

“Mom Brain” is a blog and collection of social content created to inspire parents with ways of bringing more real play and creativity into the home. Less virtual play, more real experiences. Less goal-oriented activities, more freedom to explore. Fewer batteries, more imagination. The dream has always been to grow this from a blog into a brand .

“We March” Coloring Book

We March! was a coloring book created in response to the 2016 elections and the resulting historic Women’s March. An overnight success on Kickstarter, its sales resulted in over $5,000 donated to the ACLU.

 

KittySpliff

Conceived and developed purely for fun, KittySpliff brought cat toys to a “higher” level. These feline fatties were hand-sewn and stuffed with the finest homegrown catnip. KittySpliffs were introduced to local stores in New York. Within 3 months, KittySpliff was written up in Time Out New York, and Time Out Chicago, and within a year, was being sold in high-end pet stores in New York’s Cheslea and San Francisco.
