GRAPHIC DESIGNER
SHAYLA KRYGIER
Hey there! My name is Shayla and I have a passion for all things creative. My lifelong hobby and interest has always been anything related to design or art. I even chose this career pathway back in kindergarten.
The only thing that has changed since then, is the increase in my passion for creating beautiful design that grabs attention and pushes the boundaries of creativity. My love for the field of graphic design is what drives me to keep up with the latest trends and inspires my constant searches for new concepts and ideas to apply to my projects.
I have 8 years of professional experience working in the design and marketing fields, with a recent focus in digital mediums for the past 3.
Thanks for stopping by!
