Sarah Mellen | The Jack & The Ace, LLC.

I’ve worked as a packaging designer on CPG and brand building for 20 years. About 10 years ago I went into Duane Reade after working on a Colgate project and just stared in awe at the hundreds of Colgate products already in existence wondering, what am I doing?! All I do is help people create more waste. I made a pivot and started researching and utilizing more sustainable materials and looking for clients that aligned with my values. As my career evolves this has become more and more of my focus.
