Bianca van der Meulen
Bianca is the Co-founder and Strategy Director of Sunbird Creative, a branding agency in Harlem.
Having grown up on four continents in a multicultural family, Bianca was naturally attracted to the diversity of New York City—especially Harlem. After earning her BA in English & American Literature at NYU, she tutored, worked in the writing center at Northern Virginia Community College, and freelanced as a writer/editor. Her specialty was communicating complex ideas in plain language.
In 2015, Bianca co-founded branding agency Sunbird Creative to fill the gap in strategic creative services available to small businesses. The vast majority of the company’s 100+ clients are based in Harlem, where Sunbird has become known as the go-to branding agency, thanks to strategic partnerships with community organizations, an appreciation for the complex social forces at play in the neighborhood, and Sunbird’s down-to-earth personality.
