Hi, I’m Khalia Smith. I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with a background in marketing and freelance visual storytelling. I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and comfortable working with traditional media, bringing a bold, expressive energy to my creative work.
I love using color, typography, and shape to craft playful and experimental narratives. I’ve produced small-format, newspaper-inspired publications and led design direction for campus events and initiatives, while managing social media content and campaigns to engage communities.
