About Hari Baumbach
Creative Director at Essencify Design
I speak English | Falo Português | Hablo Español
I’m an experienced designer and art director based in Boulder, Colorado. I have formal graphic design training and 7 years of experience working as a designer in an agency setting, providing small businesses and nonprofit organizations with design solutions across various mediums that are compelling, inclusive, and effective at reaching and delighting their intended audience. I also have 4 years of experience working as an in-house designer. Over the years, I have presented design concepts, and solutions, and led design discussions for a wide variety of audiences and stakeholders.
More recently, I have started my own small creative studio and have been learning in practice about entrepreneurship, business, design, management, and leadership.
My biggest motivation is using my craft to help purpose-driven organizations positively impact the world.
I was born in the USA and grew up in Brazil. My multicultural background really helped me realize the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am also very interested in sustainability and social impact.
I am excited to support other designers who might benefit from my unique background, my experience working on the marketing side of design, and being a Latina woman entrepreneur.

“My mentorship with Hari was extremely enlightening. Her advice was precise and targeted, providing me with incredibly valuable insights. Furthermore, Hari demonstrated remarkable friendliness and accessibility from the very beginning of our communication. I am immensely grateful for everything!”
“Hari is an amazing design person! I come to her with my design questions and problems dealing with professionalism with other designers. Hari is a treasure, and I feel so fortunate to have her guide me in my career choices. She can't choose for me, but she shares her experience so that I feel clear about making choices in the design world.”
“I wish Hari had 48 hours a day and mentored full time as her second full time job. She is SUCH a good listener, willing to share so much insight into her experience AND able to give equally useful advice on how to move forward in your professional career.”
