Hi, I’m Eliza! I’m a versatile graphic designer who loves bringing ideas to life through visuals, whether that’s flyers, posters, logos, signs, or pamphlets. My experience includes freelance projects, volunteer work for community organizations, and commissioned designs, including a project for the NAACP branch Raising the Shade. What sets my work apart is my focus on storytelling. I believe every design has the power to tell a story, whether it’s the story of a brand, a product, or the people behind it. Stories are what people connect with, and I use design as a tool to make those stories clear, engaging, and memorable. I’m passionate about creating work that not only looks good but also resonates with people, sparks connection, and helps organizations achieve their goals. I love collaborating, learning new skills, and taking on creative challenges that push me to grow as a designer.
