Hi, I’m Sheena

A little bit about me (the cliff notes)

I’m a brand designer with 20 years of experience across print, branding, digital design, and marketing communications. I specialize in creating cohesive, elevated brand identities that translate seamlessly across web, digital, and print, so everything works together, looks intentional, and creates brand recognition at every touchpoint.

I thrive in fast-paced, growth-stage environments, bringing clarity and structure to brands that are ready to level up. Collaboration is at the heart of my process, and I’m deeply invested in streamlining workflows, refining the details, and creating strategic, visually compelling work that builds alignment and connects with the right audiences.
