Hi, I'm Kory Haigh. I'm a Senior Graphic Designer with 20+ years of multidisciplinary experience in in-house and agency settings. I specialize in translating brand goals into visuals that engage and inform, across digital, print, and video, blending typography, layout, and storytelling to create cohesive brands. I'm deeply curious about emerging tools and trends, with a growing interest in motion design and AI-enabled workflows. I thrive both independently and as part of cross-functional teams, and I am authorized to work in the US for any employer.
