Hi there! I'm Jeff Ebersohl.
I am a versatile product management and creative strategy professional with over 15 years of experience driving innovation and delivering impactful solutions. With a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams, managing high-profile client relationships, and spearheading projects from concept to commercialization, I bring a unique blend of creativity and strategic insight to every role.
My career began with significant successes at Disney, where I led the design and development of retail products that delighted guests and drove substantial revenue growth. This strong foundation in character-centric storytelling and innovative product development set the stage for a dynamic career spanning entrepreneurial ventures, established corporations, and creative agencies.
Adept at blending creativity with strategic insights, I specialize in developing products that resonate with customers and drive business growth. I have a keen ability to take disparate ideas and craft them into cohesive, compelling product experiences that exceed expectations. My approach is rooted in deep empathy for the user, seamlessly marrying fanciful creativity with functional design parameters.
Throughout my journey, I have honed a diverse skill set across product management, creative direction, design, sourcing, and marketing. I thrive on versatility and innovation, leveraging my entrepreneurial spirit to navigate lean budgets and organically acquire new skills. As a result, I have become fluent in the languages of both Creativity and Business, enabling me to effectively communicate challenges and solutions to stakeholders at all levels.
Some of my proudest achievements include:
• Transitioning from Designer to Product Developer, producing my first project: an entire collection of souvenir light up hats for Disney Parks and Resorts from concept to delivery, managing all the steps from stem to stern. See project information and images on this page. I will add a full work page soon.
• Launching innovative products like Swatchphoria, an Adobe Illustrator plugin that streamlined workflows for designers, and HangArounds, a line of modular wall decor that sold out its initial production run.
• My largest design was for a four-story-tall balloon and its accompanying plush for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade seen by millions and sold in Macy's stores across the United States. See the project here
• Revitalizing Amazon's private label account for John B. Sanfilippo & Son, implementing process improvements that earned recognition from the client team at Amazon.
• Developing a transformative strategy for a university's math department that enhanced grading efficiency by 40% and significantly improved student engagement.
When I'm not immersed in the world of product innovation, I find balance and inspiration in cycling and weight lifting. These pursuits energize my creativity and fuel my commitment to continuous growth.
