Hi, I’m Naya — a Chicago-based Visual Designer, lifelong creative, and serial hobbyist. I’ve been drawing, painting, and making things for as long as I can remember, and lately that’s meant experimenting with interior design that’s imperfect and resourceful.

I help brands tell their story through thoughtful, cohesive design across digital and print, blending strategy, creativity, and a bit of stubborn curiosity to solve problems and bring ideas to life. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across newspapers, studios, agencies, and in-house teams, designing everything from trade show displays and packaging to emails, events, and design systems.

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me chasing inspiration in nature, snuggling with my cat, or diving into a new creative rabbit hole. Current fun facts: I’ve recently picked rollerblading back up — my favorite childhood hobby — and I’ve been learning to sew this year!

I design to solve problems beautifully — blending strategy, creativity, and connection to make work that feels as intentional as it looks.
