I'm Sophie, a full-time artist, graphic designer, and educator. As a designer, I act as an artistic communicator, transforming ordinary shapes, images, colors, and text into original, meaningful, and accessible messages.
Empathy and strategy are central to my design process. I relish the challenge each project brings and the chance to offer an exciting, collaborative design experience alongside inspired individuals.

Patience and perseverance are two things I value in my process. Good design doesn't happen overnight, like the success of your business, it takes lots of time, iteration, and thoughtfulness. Every project is different, however the process is always similarly structured.

Great design is integral to any brand regardless of the industry in which lives and operates. I do not limit myself to working with specific types of brands, but maintain the cultivation of the client-designer relationship as the core of my business practice. This method has has created a conscious breadth in my portfolio including work with international travel and leisure brands, educational start-ups, independent artists, digital finance platforms, small business agriculture, and the list goes on. My passion lies in designing for and collaborating with inspired people.
My work itself varies vastly between projects and clients, because of this I do not offer standard price packages. It all comes down to the individual need of the brand, and the amount of work required to accomplish the goals. After establishing a client discovery call, I take the time to explain each part of my design process, create a final budget proposal, and explain the total price of services.
Getting started is one of the most challenging parts of building your visual identity, but you don't have to do it alone. Every branding or design project starts with answering this fundamental question: what does your business need? What I include in the final scope for any proposal is customized to the individual need of every client. This could be all encompassing, like establishing the foundation of your brand's visual identity and creating a guideline to help carry that vision to market. It could be a highly-focused project or campaign, where an established brand is looking to elevate their design through website, social media, and even product development. I work with my clients to understand and accomplish their goals with clarity and strategy.
I work with brands and businesses all over the world and am available for contract services in the US and abroad!
Every client has different needs. If a logo mark is part of our work together, know that the process goes far beyond one design for your brand or business. I want to help my clients maximize their impact and connection to their targeted audience through a design language, a complete visual identity, and the journey to accomplishing this task is often grounded in exploring more than just a logo for your business.
