Available to hire
Hi, I’m Sophio Chkhenkeli, an Art Director and Brand Designer with a passion for typography, logotypes, and clear visual identities. I collaborate with startups and established brands to craft cohesive brand systems, layouts, and posters that communicate with impact. My work centers on typography, brand style, and thoughtful visual communication to help brands stand out.
Based in Georgia, I love sharing Georgian typography with the world and mentoring newcomers through design education programs. When I’m not designing, I mentor students at Caucasus University and contribute to Sophioc, a Georgian typography brand store.
