Hello there.

I am Amber Dunk, a hybrid, t-shaped designer that is fluid in both brand building and website making. My career path has been a bit unconventional, working for both brand and digital agencies. I began my career creating interactive CD-roms, came up through the age of Photoshop websites and then explored the brand side, where I learned how to craft a memorable brand that is strategic, aesthetic, and impactful.

I am the sum of all of these experiences and am at my core a problem solver and systems thinker with an eye towards flexibility, scale and what could be.

Currently, I am a Creative Director at VSA Partners, where I collaborate with teams to create thoughtful and differentiated brand experiences and compelling visual stories. My approach is rooted in creative problem-solving, always iterating on the user-centered details in the relentless pursuit of design goodness.

Outside of work, I love connecting people through conversation and creativity. I have helped to build two small but mighty Chicago communities: Design Sips, a monthly happy hour gathering of female design creatives, that offers community, support and networking; and Reading Rainbow, a book club of female readers, that has read over 60 books together in the span of the last 12 years.
