Thoughtful Creative
Hello, I’m Kayla Stearns, nice to meet you!
With a background in graphic design and a passion for food, agriculture and good deeds, I create design solutions for thoughtful businesses, organizations and nonprofits. My goal lies in helping you find your voice. I enjoy working with people who are as passionate about their work as I am to create graphics for social campaigns, logos, developing websites and everything in between.
I enjoy all aspects of design, from integrating and creating patterns, to choosing the perfect color palette, to determining which font best suits the brand. It is fulfilling to develop a brand and watch it grow through print and digital mediums. My role is to make sure the appearance of your brand connects to your goals and audience. By asking the right questions, listening, research, clear communication and exploration I discover the solutions that will enhance your vision.
Kayla is fantastic to work with.
Not only does she create absolutely stunning work, but working with her is easy. She takes the time to understand projects, ask the right questions, is responsive and efficient. She’s incredibly talented and always delivers. I hope our work together continues!

More About Me
As a daughter of a fourth generation farmer, I am creatively inspired by the open spaces that surround me. Growing up on a farm I learned the importance of hard work and collaboration. My perfect weekend includes lots of fresh air, whether it is cross country skiing, camping or hiking with my dog Olive. I love getting my hands dirty tending to my small garden–vegetables are actually growing! Another passion of mine is solo traveling, so far I have travelled solo to Idaho, Norway, Iceland and Nova Scotia. I have been successfully working remotely for 9+ years!
“She is a pleasure to work with, has a great eye for design.
I have had the privilege of working with Kayla for nearly 5 years. When I moved to another company, she was the first person I thought of to help me with our ongoing design work. Her ability to turn sometimes even more obscure concepts into functional, beautiful and clean designs is uncanny and so appreciated. I love working with her!”
