Meet Cecile

For more than three decades, I’ve been building unforgettable brands that move people and grow businesses. My team and I blend emotion, art, and strategic thinking to craft brand experiences that surprise, delight, and deliver measurable results. From launching new brands to designing books, magazines, and online curriculum, we bring ideas, products and companies to life across platforms and mediums.

My passion for visual storytelling began early — finger-painting in Annecy, France, sketching through Paris as a student at L’Ecole Supérieure d’Art Graphique, and later absorbing bold colors and ideas at the Whitney Museum. Those early moments evolved into a lifelong calling. In 2025, I celebrate 31 years of Create & Associates, and I’m as energized by today’s digital innovations as I was by my first sketchpad and X-Acto knife.

I’ve had the privilege of working with local start-ups, national nonprofits, and global Fortune 500 companies. My process is always rooted in curiosity: diving deep into industries, audiences, competition, and behavior to uncover the insights that drive powerful brand strategy. The results speak for themselves — and my clients feel it in their customer response.

At the core of my work is one purpose: to engage the eyes, the mind, and the imagination. I’m incredibly grateful to have built a career around creativity, connection, and continuous learning.

Let’s connect, create, and spark something extraordinary together. My Calendly link is https://calendly.com/cecile-1963/office-hours
