About

Hi, I’m Elayna Speight, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in the DC area. Since 2011, I’ve supported organizations and arts institutions with print and digital design—everything from brochures, magazines, posters, and signage to web and social media graphics, newsletters, and direct mail.

I also build brand identities and create custom artwork for clients like Planned Parenthood DC and performance venues such as Washington Performing Arts and Round House Theatre. Alongside client work, I’ve contributed to marketing collateral and publication design for theater companies, including leading design for Asides magazine and supporting education and development initiatives.
