About

Hi, I’m Kayla! I'm a multidisciplinary designer focused on branding and advertising. I blend storytelling with visual design to create work that’s clear, compelling, and intentional across digital, print, and product experiences. I’m pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design with a Minor in Advertising and Media at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (2022–2026). I’m passionate about design that feels both purposeful and expressive. Whether I’m developing a brand identity or shaping a multi-platform campaign, I approach every project with curiosity, creativity, and a strong attention to detail. Recently, I interned with Staples Promotional Products, where I designed a range of print and digital marketing assets for S&P 500 and Fortune 500 clients, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure brand standards were upheld. This experience, along with my ongoing work at Campus Ink, has helped me translate classroom learnings into real-world impact, pairing creativity with strategic decision-making and hands-on client management.
