Available to hire
I’m Gracia, a Senior Graphic Designer and Art Director with 5+ years delivering integrated brand and campaign work across digital, print, and packaging. I partner with marketing and product teams from concept to rollout, aligning creative with business goals and elevating visual systems. I’m proficient in Adobe CC (AI, PS, ID, AE) and known for driving engagement, delivering double-digit uplift across paid social, while mentoring junior creatives.
I love collaborating across disciplines to translate ideas into scalable design systems. My work blends typography, layout, color, and motion to build brand narratives that perform in social, packaging, and digital spaces. I’m dedicated to continuous learning and enjoy exploring new tools, including generative AI, to accelerate creativity and impact.
