A healthy dose of creativity, strategy, and healthcare industry expertise.

When it comes to healthcare experience, Svetla certainly has a healthy dose.

With a background of more than twenty years in the pharmaceutical, medical device and medical technology sectors, she has managed a breadth of medical brands and spearheaded numerous product launches.

Prior to founding Bloom Creative, Svetla led the marketing and client services teams at Lathian Health, an interactive medical marketing and medical education agency where she helped recruit clinicians to the digital campaigns of multiple healthcare brands.

Before that, she worked across Europe and the U.S. for Gilead Sciences and Applied Medical Devices, in both marketing and sales roles.

She began her career as a researcher in biochemistry and gene delivery for NeXstrar Pharmaceuticals.

Svetla holds an MBA from UCI’s Paul Merage School of Management. She also earned dual degrees in Biology and French Literature along with a minor in Chemistry from CSUF.

Even though she’s settled down in California, Svetla admits to having an international wanderlust. She has worked on three continents, lived in six countries, and is fluent in three languages. Talk about diversity/diversité/разнообразие.

Greg helps us all see the human side of technology. Ever since he was a kid, Greg saw technology as a tool to empower individuals. It started way back in 5th grade when he built his first creative workstation so that his disabled sister could color like other kindergartners.

Greg spent 14 years as the Managing Partner for JLOOP, one of Southern California’s most innovative digital agencies. Prior to that he was a faculty member at the Art Institute of California in Orange County, where he taught advanced courses in multimedia and web design and helped shape the curriculum.

Greg earned his MBA in Information Technology at the Paul Merage School of Business Executive Program at the University of California at Irvine. He also holds a BA in Political Science from UCI.

When he’s not pursuing creative technology, Greg can be found playing his guitar in the office or gazing at a mountain range somewhere. He loves spending his summers visiting national parks with his family, including his wife, Miranda, and their two young daughters.

Tom is a swiss army knife of all things visual. His strengths lie in his flexibility to apply compelling design principles across all mediums including: UX/UI for mobile and web, branding, printed materials, photography, animation, and powerpoint. His diverse experience allows him to engage with every facet of building a brand from concept to execution. His light hearted “go with the flow” attitude allows for clear minded problem solving and quick effective solutions.

He hit the ground running with big names like Subaru, Nevada Energy, and Yogurtland. After two and a half years, he took a year off to pursue personal projects and travel the world. Since returning, he has continued to hone and diversify his skills as an independent contractor in Orange County.

Creativity and adventure are two words he lives by. Each avenue feeds into the other giving life and energy. If he isn’t hammering away at his computer you might find him, surfing the local beaches, writing music, exploring a new country with his wife, or indulging in his podcast addiction.

Over 20 years ago, with an enthusiasm for figure drawing and medical dramas, as well as a sense of adventure, Karina crossed the country to attend Rochester Institute of Technology to earn her BFA in Medical Illustration with a minor in Literature. She’s been combining art, science, and storytelling ever since.

Karina loves solving complex visual problems and exploring medical content to extract essential messages for different audiences. She excels at detail-oriented tasks and has extensive experience with book and web illustration, design, and animation.

Her clients have included plastic and bariatric surgeons, science magazines, authors, hospitals, chemical companies, medical device manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies. Before moving back to her hometown of Los Angeles and blazing her own trail, she worked for healthcare education companies in New York and Chicago.

Karina wears many hats, and in addition to her illustration work, she helps manage a 50-year-old family-owned apartment building in Los Angeles. In her spare time, she practices yoga and ballroom dancing, is learning to speak Korean, and wishes she could find even more time for hiking and traveling around this beautiful planet.

Jennifer brings a fresh perspective and a “rollup your sleeves and get the job done” attitude. Jennifer is the team’s organizational guru. Happily going wherever she is needed, she excels in keeping the team organized and on track. Whether it’s making to-do lists, sending email reminders, sorting out the database or picking up lunch…Jennifer is always there (with a smile) to lend a helping hand.

In addition to keeping Bloom organized, Jennifer is savvy on all things social media. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest…you name it, she can do it. For Jennifer, who has a Communications-Public Relations degree, it’s all about embracing innovative media outlets to find a connection with audiences that weren’t always easily accessible.

Her latest career adventure has had her focused on the world of blogging. Outside of Bloom Jennifer is involved with a non-profit educational foundation blog, so she is writing more blog posts than ever before…and loving it! Finding her own voice in the process of finding the voice for her clients and their audiences has been a rewarding experience.

When she isn’t working, Jennifer enjoys cooking, traveling, trying new foods, spending time with loved ones, and anything/everything sports related.

With years of experience in the healthcare space, Amy understands the wide range of audiences with which today’s healthcare organizations need to communicate—the FDA, trial participants, consumers, patients, caregivers, physicians and even investors. She also knows that each audience requires a different communication strategy and, more often than not, a different tone and WIIFM (“What’s In It For Me”).

Before joining Bloom Creative, Amy was a communications consultant for more than 15 years under the moniker Amy The Writer. Her work ranged from single projects to comprehensive marketing/educational campaigns for companies involved in medical device, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, medical services and managed care. Her client experience includes Allergan, Beckman Coulter, Biosense Webster, DaVita Dialysis, Dignity Health, Cardiogenesis, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic Diabetes and Promedica International.

Before moving to California, she worked for the Society of Manufacturing Engineers developing, marketing and administrating educational events. 

When she isn’t spending her time helping companies communicate more productively, Amy enjoys hiking, traveling and all things related to college football.

You could say that Tara has a sharp eye for identifying a company’s strengths and potential. After all, she spent more than a decade helping to grow Transitions Optical, a leading adaptive lenses manufacturer.

During her tenure as a senior account executive and sales leader, Tara honed her skills at developing hard-working marketing strategies, often navigating the complexities of ever-changing health insurance laws.

And not only did clients value her talents, Transitions Optical recognized Tara with no less than five internal awards, rewarding her for everything from sales and strategy leadership to serving as a mentor for her fellow employees. Something you certainly don’t see every day.

Tara holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the prestigious Assumption College in Worcester, MA. And when she’s not busy with developing new business for Bloom, Tara enjoys spending time with her husband and two boys. A few guys she can never see enough of.
