Tomlynn Biondo is the Art Director of Packaging & Print at Seventh Generation, based out of Burlington, VT. She has worked there for 8 years, where she also held the titles of designer and senior designer. She graduated with an MFA in design from Marywood University in Scranton, PA and has worked in the design industry since then.
Tomlynn has thrived in both agency and in-house environments and has experience in everything from production design to product photography to directing a rebrand. She’s worked with brands like Pepsi, Dakine, Dunkin Donuts, Nalgene, and Ben & Jerry’s in her agency days.
She and her husband are raising 4 kids in their little teal house in the Vermont countryside, where furniture is often rearranged and paint colors change frequently! She finds the best design experiences happen while away from the computer—flipping campers, designing interior spaces, working on a mural, or discovering a drawing stuffed in one of her kids’ backpacks.
When she’s not reviewing proofs or designing a laundry label, she enjoys spending time with her kids and coaching and playing basketball. She has started illustrating a children’s book years ago, and it’s on her to-do list when she someday finds alone time again.
