hey, I'm rhiannon!
your friendly NEIGHBORHOOD designer.
they say ‘design is problem-solving.’ my biggest problem? trying to pick just one favorite font.
*spoiler alert*
i can’t because great design is all about the perfect fit.
even from a young age, i enjoyed creating. i've been making things for as long as i can remember—whether macaroni art masterpieces or construction paper collages. over time, my interest evolved—starting with the high school yearbook and small side projects for family and friends turning into a full-fledged passion for storytelling through visual design. today, i use that passion to create branding, digital, and print designs that connect and communicate.
i’m all about creating work that feels thoughtful, timeless, and just the right amount of clever. whether i’m building a brand identity from scratch or perfecting the flow of a multi-page layout, i approach every project with a mix of curiosity, intention, and a love for the little details that tie it all together.
when i’m not designing, you’ll probably find me exploring local food spots, rewatching a comfort show, or wandering through an art museum—sometimes all in the same weekend!
