Diego Kolsky

Design Advisor, Chief Creative, and Mentor

I’ve been helping companies of all stages innovate, grow, and generate value for more than twenty years. My unique expertise lies in connecting enterprise, customer, and community through design to create shared value.
As a strategist and chief creative, I guided internal teams and partners through the creation, implementation, and management of iconic marketing, branding, and design programs.
I am an adjunct professor at Pratt Institute, a lecturer 
at Columbia University, and a mentor to upcoming marketing and design professionals.

Experience

I began my career at FutureBrand in 1994 before acquiring a taste for entrepreneurship and founding my first company, Brandfields, in 2006. I later co-founded MBLM, a cross-disciplinary agency dedicated to bridging technology and brand to foster greater intimacy between businesses and people. Currently, I am the creative partner at The Velo Group and lead &Kolsky, an independent, scalable community of practice.
