“She gets it”
“Kayla is incredibly talented at hearing an idea (via sometimes jumbled email think) and quickly creating something that helps put the idea into an easy to understand visual!
She gets it. She’s solution oriented with her design skills, patient, helpful, and just is a great person to work with!”
Holly Sturdivan, Director of Marketing at Puffworks


10+ years design experience
Your calm guide through the sea of endless ideas
I’m Kayla Jean Stearns, a graphic designer who grew up happily on a farm in South Dakota. Back then? It seemed very normal. But now… I can see how much perspective it gave me.
I learnt to see things, really see them, and trained my eyes to notice the tiny details.
I listen, observe and work to understand your business. To use the power of design to build trust in human brands. All so you can leave a positive impact, and I can help you do it.

It is possible to have a human impact and grow a powerful brand
