Hi, I'm Summiya — I turn brands into things people actually remember. For the last five years, I've been the designer clients call when "make it look nice" isn't enough — when what they really need is a brand that works: one that holds up across a pitch deck, a product interface, a social feed, and a printed page without losing its voice. Grounded in a Bachelor's degree in Visual Design, I've built brand identities from scratch, designed UI for products people use every day, and shaped the visual language for names like Cloudflare, Melbourne Business School, HoneyLove, and UT Health Houston — across tech, education, wellness, and healthcare. That range isn't an accident. I've learned that the best design doesn't come from a template; it comes from actually understanding the sector you're designing for — its users, its constraints, its unspoken rules. Here's what sets me apart: I don't just design things — I design things that hold up under scrutiny. I've also worked both directly with clients and inside agency pipelines (including OST Agency, France), so I know how to move fast without breaking the process — and how to make a stakeholder-heavy project feel effortless. My work spans brand identity, UI, editorial and publication design, illustration, and marketing collateral — shipped for clients across North America, Europe, and Australia. If you want design that's sharp, strategic, and built to survive contact with the real world — let's talk.
