I’m a North Carolina–based graphic designer with a focus on branding, packaging, and editorial design.

My path into design didn’t start in a classroom, it started over a decade ago when I built Kayla Makes from the ground up. What began as a creative outlet quickly became a fully realized brand: product development, content strategy, collaborations with national craft companies, and an audience of over 50,000 makers.

That hands-on experience taught me something no textbook could, how design functions in the real world. I understand not only how to create something beautiful, but how to create something strategic, cohesive, and built to grow.

Today, I bring that same entrepreneurial mindset into every client project, blending bold visuals with thoughtful storytelling to create brands that feel intentional, memorable, and unmistakably authentic.
