About
MY STORYHi, I’m Lilli — founder of Changemaker Creative.
I design strategic branding and sustainable packaging for food, wellness, and regulated CPG brands.
I care about a couple of things deeply:
Helping founders build brands that actually sell
Making packaging smarter, more sustainable, and less wasteful
Having a good time while doing all of this.
An entire creative agency in one person
Most of my clients don’t need a giant firm. They need one experienced partner who understands the whole picture. That’s where I come in.
I’m often the:
Brand strategist
Packaging designer
Compliance nerd
Prepress problem-solver
Sourcing + materials researcher
Copy collaborator
And the person who keeps everything moving
I’ve worked in agencies, in-house teams, and independently, which means I know how to do all sorts of things, from coding to pitch decks, animation to Excels.
For companies that need more than a designer but aren't ready to hire an entire packaging team. With me, you get big-picture, senior-level creative thinking without the big-agency overhead.
Recognition & Speaking
I’ve been invited to speak on sustainability, packaging design, branding, and consumer trends at conferences and industry events across the U.S.

Why work with a solo studio? Why choose you, and not a fancy agency?
-
Yes! I see this as a collaboration, not me dictating what you have to do. Your company is yours, I’m here to bring out the best of your idea. Doesn’t mean I won’t tell it to you straight.
-
I’ve done this professionally close to 20 years, so that experience comes included in the price. Compared to large agencies who’ll want hundreds of thousands for the same work, working with me is very good value! Flexible project options, and payment plans make things totally doable.
-
Your project will be my whole world. When you work with a large agency, you’ll most likely be the little fish in the big pond, and after the sleek sales call, you’ll get pawned to the junior team or forgotten. I’m definitely less sleek on a sales call, but I won’t forget you!
-
I handle every project personally. If I bring in help, like an illustrator, photographer, or web code guy, you’ll know, and you’ll get to connect with them directly.
-
No AI will be used in the design work, or in the photography or images used in the work. I will however, use the robots to help me take notes, because taking notes is boring, and I’d rather listen and talk with you!
Working with Lilli was exactly what I needed as a small start-up, and in hindsight, I wish I had started with her sooner instead of spinning my wheels for months before that.
