Hello there.

I am Amber Dunk, a hybrid designer that is fluid in both strategic brand building and digital design. My career path has included working for both brand and digital agencies. I began my career creating interfaces and packaging for
CD-roms which evolved into building more complicated digital experiences and creating ui kits. Then I 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 serve as a Creative Director at VSA Partners. In this role, I lead design teams to translate briefs into thoughtfully crafted solutions that solve business challenges. I collaborate closely with both client and creative teams to shape meaningful products, brands, and user experiences.

My experience runs wide and deep, spanning across healthcare, financial services, retail, and technology. My approach is rooted in creative problem-solving, always considering 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.
