About Veronica Michalowski

Design Career 

My career focused in the fields of product design, ideation, branding, marketing, and merchandising for the packaging and display industries. I’ve created branding for such firms as Microsoft, Epson, Canon USA, Neutrogena, Crayola, Calaway Golf, Geoffrey Beane, Sunkist, as well as many California wineries. Products produced many years ago remain in the marketplace today. As Creative Director, I’ve built and worked with outstanding design teams, written and spoken about the importance of excellent design in the marketplace and received both national and international recognition and acclaim for exceptional design throughout my career, including two CLIO awards.

Interspersed with this creative work has been a contribution to the educational field, having taught at various times at California State University, Fullerton as well as Riverside City College, Mount San Antonio College and Laguna College of Art and Design.

Paintings

I have returned to making my own paintings, fulfilling the constant need to create and to clearly communicate ideas, feelings, reactions, concepts, memories, responses and dreams. Over the last decade and more, my work has been exhibited throughout Inland Empire, Orange County and Los Angeles galleries and museums.

Poetry

Since Graduate School, I have written poetry and decided recently to compile a grouping into one book, BODY LANDSCAPE/PAISAJE CORPORAL [English/Spanish Edition]. Other books will follow with more autobiographical poetry.
