Kitchen Table

NEW YORK, USA // Armed with a passion for crafting authentic and emotionally provocative work, Gabrielle strives to build the creative that moves culture forward — the work that both keeps us up at night and helps us sleep knowing art has the power to change the world.

Gabrielle founded Kitchen Table, a full service creative agency built so all brands have a seat – creating work for the culture from within the culture and focused on championing underrepresented brands. Since launching, the agency has created work for Madam CJ Walker, Ciroc, Hebru Brantley x Adidas, StatusPRO, Group Black and more.

Gabrielle was voted to AdAge’s 25 Most Inspiring People according to Industry Creatives, Adweek’s Creative 100 and also named AdCouncil’s Champion for Good.

Prior to the launch of Kitchen Table, Gabrielle was SVP Group Creative Director at McCann NY and has had the honor of crafting work for leading brands such as, Ulta Beauty, LinkedIn, AdCouncil and Microsoft – including the 2020 Super Bowl spot, voted Most Emotionally Effective. Throughout her career, Gabrielle has collaborated alongside cultural icon Spike Lee and led campaigns for global brands such as; New Era, Nature Valley, Adobe, Smirnoff, Cadillac, JBL and more. She takes pride in mentoring underrepresented talent in advertising – creating the table.
