Heather K Kristen Gonzalez

I’m a passionate and people-first creative project manager and brand marketing manager with 10+ years of experience leading cross-functional teams across consumer goods, education, and digital product design. With a background in brand management, customer success, and creative direction, I’ve built a career at the intersection of design, equity, and innovation—amplifying community voices and advancing institutional goals through impactful marketing and content. I’ve led the development of high-impact campaigns, packaging, and digital content while driving collaboration between product, design, and research teams. Whether I'm creating inclusive storytelling strategies, optimizing workflows, or building team rituals that boost morale, my goal is always the same: to connect people, elevate voices, and deliver user-centric solutions that make a lasting impact.
