Designing Delaney…

Welcome to my high-maintenance world. Not the diva kind, but the pixel-perfect, detail-obsessed, standards-so-high-they-need-a-ladder kind. High maintenance means high expectations, high goals—and optimizing ones environment to meet those expectations. Every aspect of my life is considered: the images I put on the wall, the clothes I put on my body, the work I put into the world. I’ve built my career around design that delivers both personality and purpose.

Much of my inspiration comes from blending digital crispness with tactile elements using hand-drawn type, soft textures, and layered media. With a BFA in Graphic Design from the Academy of Art University and over four years of experience in art direction, branding, marketing, and project management, I have a proven track record of managing projects from concept through execution, consistently delivering results that exceed client expectations while meeting tight deadlines.

In my recent roles as a junior designer for a branding firm and as an independent freelance creative, I’ve worked with diverse clients to produce brand guidelines, identity systems, publication layouts, event materials, merchandise, environmental graphics, packaging, website layouts, social media content, email campaigns, and presentation designs. I partnered closely with clients to plan campaigns, craft brand strategies, storyboard concepts, and shape visuals that align with marketing objectives while maintaining mastery of Adobe Creative Suite to deliver professional-quality work. I’ve also coordinated with vendors to oversee production of materials, ensuring quality control and brand consistency.

I thrive in environments where design is both creative and strategic. Therefore, if you’re looking for someone who brings both strategy and style and maybe alphabetizes their fonts for fun—I’d love to chat. I’m open to remote or on-site projects or jobs.
