Hey, I'm Paige! I'm creative designer and illustrator on a mission to bring beauty and purpose to the world through impactful design.

What I Do

I'm not just a designer; I'm a storyteller who strategically weaves fine art into my work, making marketing not just functional but undeniably beautiful. From concept to creation, I specialize in crafting designs that leave a lasting impression.

My Design Journey

Throughout my design journey, I've embraced big ideas and had a commitment to leaving things better than I found them. I have 8 years of experience in several different industries: technology, travel, education, publishing, and non-profits. I love working in a variety of industries because it gives me unique insights into the different needs of each one, and also what connects them and their clients.

I love creating new work through freelancing, dedicating my skills to impactful branding and print projects. In my spare time, I paint and illustrate, but outside of creative hobbies I love to travel - after living in Ireland on 2 separate occasions! - and spend time with my dog Ernie and ride my horse friend Phoenix once a week.

My resume is available here. I'd love to chat about a new project, so feel free to get in touch here!
