About

Hi, I’m Gabrielle Garnett, a creative digital designer with a B.F.A. in Illustration and hands-on experience producing brand-aligned visual content across editorial, social, and marketing channels. I excel in end-to-end project execution—from client discovery through concept development to final delivery using Adobe Creative Suite. I maintain visual consistency across multiple channels, incorporate feedback quickly, and meet deadlines in fast-paced, collaborative environments.
My background includes retail-adjacent experience and a strong understanding of customer-facing brand communication. I’m passionate about turning ideas into compelling visuals and collaborating with editors, marketers, and product teams to tell cohesive brand stories.

A group of spot illustrations, the first 3 being for a social media personal project, and the last 2 being an honorable commission for a beautiful wedding. Both were created during the summer but required different tones, one being fun and eye-catching for a specific demographic and the other being more intimate and close-knit for families and friends. illustrator graphicdesigner

This is a black-owned candle and aroma company driven by community, cultural appreciation, and showing their love for themselves, family, and history. Their mission is to give their patrons a comforting, relaxing environment with their candles/scents, reminding people of home and comfort. This company targets those new adults who are nostalgic for their past, whether that be the atmosphere, the memories, or, yes, even the smells. But these candles aren’t just for those nostalgic for their past; they're also for anyone who wants a warm atmosphere for a cozy night in or a fresh scent for that Sunday clean. illustrator graphicdesigner

This illustration is for a cozy fall favorite that I wanted to give some appreciation to, whether homemade or store-bought. The recipe felt cozy yet elegant, so through linework and clever shaping, I followed that mood. graphicdesigner illustrator

This illustration is loosely based on a separate one-panel comic, the intention being to imitate The New Yorker’s magazine style of creating a cover related to one of the stories inside. The style of the cover is meant to replicate the style of anatomy illustrations, but with a bit more added humor. illustrator graphicdesigner

“It’s No Big Deal” is a hypothetical magazine that covers sex and anything related to sex (genital health, consent, etc.). I chose the name “It’s No Big Deal” because sex is truly no big deal. It’s a natural part of life; sex is one of the biggest ways to connect to someone, even if for one night. I want to show that these things (sex, self-pleasure, genital health, etc.) don’t have to be a big deal. It’s all about connection and having a pleasurable experience. It doesn’t have to be some perfect moment like in a film or book; it just has to be enjoyable and safe for you and your partner (s). graphicdesigner designer illustrator
