Casey Gobbi, Creative Director
A unique combination of artist, athlete and adventurer, Casey has a zest for life and tries to live every day to the fullest. He’s a naturalist, environmentalist, percussionist and motorcyclist while striving to become a minimalist. His new motto is “less is more.” Casey brings his enthusiastic energy, passion and creativity to all of the projects he is involved with. He is currently perfecting his GOBBI handmade Organic Lip Balm. In his spare time he volunteers for local and New York State environmental causes, and participates in other charitable events that are important to him, such as keeping musical programs in schools for kids. Casey is a visionary with a combination of old-school and new-school methods, he works hard to turn ideas into reality and makes sure that the results are useful, positive and cool.
Along with a keen eye, Casey’s creative direction incorporates his analytical abilities and understanding of sociology to come up with fresh ideas and concepts, and develops them into new marketing and design strategies. As a Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.) Advertising & Design Alumni and former member of The Art Directors Club N.Y., his jack-of-all-trades talents come naturally and have evolved from a thorough understanding of design, graphic design, advertising, marketing, sales, photography, fashion, apparel design, vintage toys & collectibles marketplace, whole foods marketplace / organic bath & body care, music and sports.
Daniela, Art Director . Web Designer
Daniela started on her path of art and design at the age of four when she proudly displayed her artistic abilities on her mother’s kitchen table chairs with a felt-tip pen. Needless to say, the critics were harsh, but fortunately, that didn’t stop her creativity.
Graduating from both Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) and the Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.), and with over 14 years of professional experience in the design industry, Daniela has acquired a skill set that includes web design and development, along with publication layout.
When she’s not designing, Daniela enjoys reading a good book, spending time outdoors, and handcrafting GOBBI Organic Lip Balm, Soy and Beeswax Candles.
Design Philosophy
GOBBI’s design philosophy is “keep it simple.” Our concepts and designs are organic, clean and professional, having no more or less than what is necessary. We look to nature, architecture, and pop culture for inspiration. We study market trends, but do not always follow them. When designing, we’re always keeping form, function and your target audience’s perspective in mind. We do this by studying social behaviors and weigh all the factors that would impact the final concept and design.
Mission
Our mission is to ensure a pleasant and smooth creative process, while building lasting relationships with our clients. So to achieve this, it’s a team effort and we need our client’s feedback, communication and participation along the way.
Goal
Our goal is to make sure that you and your customers are happy. That's why we listen, make informed decisions, and work hard to achieve great quality work.
Green Design
GOBBI is an environmentally progressive design studio. Without sacrificing quality or visual appeal, one of our primary objectives is to incorporate green design, not only in the materials we create for our clients, but also in our business practices as well. We do this by using recycled eco-friendly papers, working with printers who use soy and vegetable-based ink, choosing vendors that use wind-generated renewable energy, and employing a digital workflow to help reduce paper waste, all of which have a minimal impact to the environment.
