About Me
I'm Jamey Ruiz, a concept-driven graphic designer and creative lead specializing in packaging, branding, integrated marketing, and visual storytelling for modern consumer brands. I create strategic, story-driven design that strengthens brands, engages audiences, and delivers measurable results.
I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from Chapman University, graduating magna cum laude in 2017. Over the past 10+ years, I've partnered with consumer brands to bring ideas to life across packaging, email marketing, paid media, ecommerce, web, and print. From product launches to integrated marketing campaigns, I enjoy translating business goals into compelling visual experiences that connect with customers and support brand growth.
Most of my work has been rooted in the wine and lifestyle industries, where I've led creative across multiple brands spanning packaging, ecommerce, retail, email marketing, paid media, and digital experiences. Whether designing a wine label, launching a new product, or building a multi-channel campaign, I love creating cohesive brand experiences that connect strategy with storytelling and make every customer touchpoint feel intentional.
Outside of design, I'm a wife, mom of two, gardening enthusiast, and proud homebody who finds inspiration in everyday moments, from cozy kitchens and dinner parties to quiet mornings, home projects, and life with my family.
At the core of everything I create is the belief that great design should do more than look beautiful. It should tell a story, create connection, solve a business challenge, and leave a lasting impression.
