meet: Colleen

Colleen is the founder of Have Good Co., a brand consultancy and creative studio focused on creating communities around food. She is an entrepreneur, designer, and chef with expertise at the intersection of food and design, and a passion for helping others eat and feel better. Prior to starting Have Good Co., her formal education in nutrition, medical sciences, and culinary arts followed by multiple years leading marketing and events for New York-based media companies and influential figures played a huge role in leading to her professional work today. She is a creator by passion, a serial hobbyist, and has ‘lifelong learning’ programmed into her DNA.

Her creative direction, copywriting, styling, design, and research have appeared in numerous media outlets including Women’s Health, NBC Food, People, Food+Wine, and Rachael Ray. Her digital design work for Nutritious Life was been nominated for two Webby Awards.

When she’s not driving impact for brands, she’s food styling, teaching, and catering intimate gatherings. Find out more about working with her here.

What sets her apart is how she combines her nuanced background with industry knowledge in looking at every project holistically. She works with you personally to dig deeper in first identifying your brand's needs before utilizing creative design and design psychology in bringing a results-driven project to life.

“My worldview is where science meets art. My work focuses heavily on food as community, culture, health, and of course a bit of fun— because life would suck without it.”

She believes the most important ingredient in life is time (and well...a good finishing salt).
