J Berry . As an award winning branding and identity professional, J is an idea person who can conceive, develop, and express complex brand and identity concepts and orchestrate comprehensive brand campaigns.

He believes in working as a partner with clients, encouraging teamwork while flawlessly executing a project through its completion and targeted business results. His portfolio includes design work for a variety of nationally known brands. Clients have included Allied Signal, American Express, Boehringer Ingelheim, Boston Lyric Opera, Canon, Credit Suisse, Debevoise & Plimpton, Deloitte, Deutsche Bank A.G., ESPN, FedEx, GE, IBM, International Paper, Johnson & Johnson, Lindenmeyr Munroe, Mony, MFA Boston, NBC, Oxygen Media, PBF Energy, Pepsi, Pfizer, Pratt and Whitney, Swiss Army, Terex, Texaco, Walmart and YMCA.
Prior to launching JB Design, J led brand-marketing at firms in New York City and Connecticut, playing a key role in the development and maintenance of programs for Texaco and Johnson & Johnson. Active within the design community, J has served on the board of the Connecticut Art Directors Club (CADC).

What motivates J? It’s not the numerous design awards his work has earned – including a recent Gold Award from Communication Arts. While these are a source of pride, his real incentive is the satisfaction of being part of the development and long-term success of his clients’ brands. When not feverishly meeting deadlines, J can be found under the hood of his vintage Mustang – or making fresh tracks on the ski slopes in Colorado.

Abby Baer. The lead graphic designer on our design team, Abby wears many hats and is our energizer bunny – both as an idea person with extensive experience in both digital and print design, and as an enthusiastic team player with terrific collaborative and interpersonal skills. These allow her to manage effective client relationships while working seamlessly with internal teams to deliver outstanding creative products. Providing vital input from the initial concept through the strategy development and execution, she has become an indispensable part of our day to day operations.

Her humor and personable energy keeps Berry team fun and entertaining. Abby is quick to get the job done and keeps both clients and teammates happy! Before joining Berry Creative, Abby graduated from the University of Hartford with a bachelor’s degree in visual communications and sculpture.

Greg Voornas. Our wordsmith and chief copy generator, Greg honed his writing skills while spending 
the first 20 years of his career at some of the most respected ad agencies on the planet. These include Ogilvy & Mather, Bozell Worldwide, Foote, Cone & Belding, Wells Rich Greene and Young and Rubicam. Whether writing short snappy copy or rewriting a large website with SEO in mind, Greg heartily subscribes to David Ogilvy’s advice to a client decades ago: “You cannot bore people into buying your product.”

Greg has created print, TV, radio, direct mail, collateral and Web/interactive campaigns for clients from Honda, Mattel and Microsoft to Chase Manhattan Bank, Mazda, IBM, and Philip Morris. His focus continues to be 100% on the verbal message – literally getting the word out. No matter how many meetings, teleconferences or video conferences are conducted to arrive at the right strategy or messaging, in the end it all comes down to the ad, direct mail piece, website, brochure, poster, radio spot or banner. And if Greg writes it – it won’t be boring!

Before joining JB Design, Jull worked with a variety of agencies, creating numerous notable online experiences for clients such as Disney, ESPN, Honda, Turbotax, Dole, Nestlé, Lenovo laptops, Qantas, Suzuki, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, and others.
