PINE BROOK, N.J.
October 17, 2023
Paradigm Marketing & Design is proud to be named among the winners of the 2023 Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) Health+Wellness Award. This award honors excellence in graphic design in health and wellness, a fast-growing, hugely important, and high-profile segment of the US economy.
“The health and wellness industry is booming, with consumer demand growing for products and services that will help people live fuller, healthier lives,” said Rachel Durkan, President of Paradigm. “At Paradigm, we constantly strive to stay up to date on current and emerging trends, which aligns perfectly with the rapidly growing and ever-evolving health and wellness industry. We are honored to be recognized by GDUSA for contributions to this thriving economic sector.”
GDUSA’s Health+Wellness Award was announced during the organization’s annual competition, which focuses on an array of aspects of health and wellness including traditional medicine and healthcare; healthy lifestyles and nutrition; mental and spiritual well-being; and public and community health. According to GDUSA, the organization created the award because, “health and wellness are of transcendent importance to our individual and societal well-being – the epicenter of policy debate and national conversation – and an area in which graphic designers have a vital role to play.”
Over the last several years, Paradigm has earned many awards and distinctions, most recently receiving four American Digital Design Awards™ from GDUSA earlier this year and three American Graphic Design Awards™ from GDUSA in 2022. The firm also notably won the 2021 Excellence Member of the Year award, given by the New Jersey Business and Industry Association. Earlier this year, Account Group Supervisor Kaitlyn Wilcoxson and Director of Client Engagement Vicki Harte each earned a Gold Stevie Award and Workflow Strategist Lorena Mosquera was awarded a Bronze Stevie Award. Paradigm President Rachel Durkan previously won a Silver Stevie Award for Business Development Executive of the Year and has also been recognized as an NJBIZ 40 Under 40 honoree, a 2020 Enterprising Women of the Year awardee, and member of NJBIZ’s 2023 list of the Best 50 Women in Business.
