This is a relatively new industry and knowing the in’s and out’s, processes, and even basic concepts of design aren’t always obvious.

MEET THE DESIGNER

As a self-taught designer, my career path was far from linear.

Hi, I’m Chloe, a seasoned digital designer, who’s been bringing brands to life through intuitive design since 2017. While I’m not spending time in nature, having deep convos over wine, or traveling, I design brand identities and custom websites for podcasts, wellness entrepreneurs, content creators, and small businesses. Some of my past clients include Girls Gotta Eat, Almost 30, Karena Dawn, and Raven Elyse.

From my background in photography to my self-taught, extensive artistic resumé, my path to becoming a designer was far from linear. Hence why I created this eBook - to ease and empower your design journey, whether you’re just curious or completely ready to start your design biz.
