Colette Boudreau Stall

Storytelling, in every form it takes, in service of work worth doing.

Colette came to marketing through images. Her RISD years nurtured an enduring way of seeing and thinking in imagery as much as in language—one that surfaces in everything she’s created since.

Two decades of work across marketing and design firms, healthcare, nonprofits, and higher education, gave her both range and a clear through-line: purposeful communication for organizations doing meaningful work. At Union, that purpose finds abundant expression as she shapes the stories around Union’s community focused architecture and planning work — writing, visuals, and thought leadership that extend their reach and deepen its resonance.

Her path from image-maker to strategic communicator is written in the work itself — art direction, creative leadership, brand strategy across agencies, healthcare organizations, and marketing firms, building toward the director level. The education kept pace: continuing design studies in New York and San Francisco, a Web Design certificate from RISD, a graduate-level certificate in Marketing Strategy from Cornell’s Johnson School. Craft and strategy, developed in tandem over decades.
