Hi!

I’m Laiana Isabel, a graphic designer whose passion for design began in the most unexpected way—through high school theater posters. What started as a creative outlet soon evolved into a profound commitment to the craft.

Since 2015, I’ve immersed myself in various facets of graphic design. My initial experience came from working with student organizations during my university years, where I honed my skills in creating compelling visual identities and promotional materials. In 2019, I joined Kyle Cavan Jewelry as the primary graphic designer. Here, I’ve specialized in e-commerce and digital design, developing solutions that enhance user experience and drive brand engagement. My work spans from designing digital interfaces to creating eye-catching print materials and large-scale signage.

In addition to my professional endeavors, I pursued a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design, graduating in 2022. This advanced study allowed me to deepen my expertise and explore innovative design practices. My approach is driven by a commitment to making a positive impact through design, and I gravitate towards projects that aim for meaningful change.

Outside of work, I’m a proud Puerto Rican with a deep love for coffee, cats, and all things beautiful. Each of these passions informs my design philosophy, inspiring me to create work that resonates with authenticity and elegance.

Thank you for visiting my page. I look forward to connecting and exploring how we can collaborate to bring your vision to life!
