Hi there, I'm Karla.
Equal parts designer, artist, and activist — I pour my heart into what I create. I partner with groups who are values-aligned, crafting visual experiences that inspire action.
SERVICES
Brand Development
If you are looking to re-vamp an existing brand or create a new one from scratch, the brand development process is one of my favorite journeys to embark on with clients. We'll deep dive into your mission and identify the "north stars" of your group's ethos, then use a framework of feedback and iteration to hone in on a visual language that practically speaks for itself.
Web Design (UX/UI)
Whether working within a website-building platform or making custom designs to hand off to a developer, I prioritize creating intuitive user experiences with engaging interfaces. I optimize designs for all screen sizes, adhere to web-accessibility standards, and know enough basic code to speak the lingo with developers.
Print Design
If it can be printed, I can design it! From fun brand collateral like stickers, hats, or shirts, to marketing materials to special projects like books or even food trucks, I nerd out about understanding print specs to ensure eye-catching results.
I am a freelance graphic designer and artist who is passionate about social, economic, and climate justice. With over 6 years of experience partnering with entrepreneurs, non-profits, and social justice philanthropy, I have found my groove working with folks where I can honestly say “your mission is my mission.” When my personal values are aligned with those of my clients’, I find myself motivated to create designs that will inspire people to pause — to think, to feel, and to act. I specialize in brand development, intuitive + engaging web design, and print.
