Hi, I’m Philana

I’m a Designer and Art Director with 14 years of experience leading design at Tech companies. I specialize in Marketing campaigns, Branding, and Visual UI design. Looking for new full time or freelance creative opportunities.

I'm a San Francisco native with a background in social gaming/entertainment start-ups where I have led brand strategy and design direction in Marketing and Product. Through these experiences, I have engaged audiences with thoughtful, forward-thinking design solutions for website rebrands, email and digital ad campaigns, social media content, experiential design, print collateral, and presentations.

I bring a fresh approach to design for every project - striving for engaging and beautiful aesthetics while also delivering on business goals. I’m a data-driven designer who aims to create a seamless end-to-end user experience across all mediums and communication.

Personal hobbies & guilty pleasures:
• Playing Superheroes with my 2 girls
• Watching reality tv
• Searching real estate listings
• Ceramic painting
• Eating chocolate!
