Farm Raised
Hello, I’m Kayla Stearns. I have been a full-time graphic & digital designer for over thirteen years, working with clients ranging from non-profit organizations to small businesses to national corporations.
My career began in publishing, followed by working at small design agency for several years, before I ultimately deciding to work with clients directly. 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. I enjoy collaborating with business owners, PR firms, and marketing teams.
I grew up on a farm near a small town in northeastern South Dakota. There I spent my time riding horse, learning the value of hard work and exploring the wide open prairie. After attending college at the University of Minnesota—Duluth, studying abroad in Ireland and living in Scotland, I now call Saint Paul, Minnesota my home.
