Hi, my name is Jaela Coleman. I am an emerging freelance designer and digital artist, known as "aleaj designs". I am a first-generation graduate from California State University, Long Beach with my Bachelor of Arts in Design. My work ranges from environmental design (non-branded/branded) to some interior design. I also create logo designs and redesigns, abstract typography, sketched-to-digital drawings, and digitally rendered product designs. ​​​​​​​I admire, value, and create unique designs and art that include elements of sustainability, community, and creativity. When designing, I primarily use a blend of traditional drawing techniques with modern editing apps, such as Procreate, and programs like SketchUp, Enscape, and Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign).
