Cori is a graphic designer, former account manager, and pizza addict, based in NYC. Cori has a BA in Creative Advertising from the Syracuse University S.I. Newhouse School. After graduating, she spent two years at DigitasLBi working on the American Express Small Business Saturday account, where she gained experience managing client relationships and liaising with creative teams. Always knowing deep down that the account life wasn’t for her, she decided to go back to school at Shillington to build a portfolio to do what she always wanted – creative!
