Hello. I’m Gianna, a graphic designer with a background in art, a love for typography, and a past life as a hairstylist. Yep, I used to help people express their identity with a good cut and color. Now I help brands do the same with clean visuals, engaging layouts, and a healthy obsession with typography and hierarchy. In my recent work, I’ve created logos, designed magazine pages, content mockups, and web banners. I know how to simplify complex info and still make it beautiful and on-brand. I actually enjoy figuring out how to make compliant content feel fresh and engaging. I’m also a big fan of working collaboratively, whether that’s brainstorming with marketing or refining color palettes with product teams. Tools of choice: all of Adobe Creative Suite. If you’re looking for someone who can bring ideas to life, keep things cohesive, and sweat the small stuff (like kerning or button placement), I’d love to chat. Thanks so much for checking out my application, I’d be excited to bring my creativity and energy to any job.…Hello.
