About Kalie

In 2023, the strongest brands succeed by delivering simple solutions to complex needs, and by doing so in a way that engages and rewards customers. I have a deep understanding of that complexity, and a clear view on how brands can creatively manage relationships with customers and stakeholders.
With over 20 years of experience, I create world-class marketing solutions for B2B and B2C clients that drive measurable business results. I believe in customer-centered design, and bring a deep empathy and understanding for the customer to everything I create and lead.

I started my career in NYC at DDB, and was then the first partner at Sharpe Partners, a digital agency named one of Ad Age’s Top 50. I’ve designed one of the first photo sharing websites for Fujifilm, helped launch the Simply Orange brand, and worked in London on pan-European campaigns for Blackberry and Eurostar. Before joining GLG, I was the VP Creative Director at Worktank.

At The Garrigan Lyman Group, I am instrumental in developing integrated work for global, national, and regional B2B and B2C clients including C.R. Laurence, Simplot, T-Mobile, Microsoft, Toyo Tires, American Tire Distributors, Expeditors, Evergreen Home Loans, and Umpqua Bank.
