I’m Savannah Byars, a graphic designer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a strong focus on storytelling through branding—especially placemaking. I’m motivated by the idea that thoughtful design can shape how people connect to places and each other, turning the “in-between” moments into something beautiful and meaningful. Alongside my design work, I enjoy leadership, collaboration, and mentoring—whether that’s supporting underclassmen in studio coursework or working with teams to represent student organizations through clear, engaging visual identity. From concept to production, I bring organization, positive energy, and a detail-oriented mindset to every project, helping ideas become cohesive brands and campaigns.
