Hey!

I’m Dayna. Welcome to my website. This page is where I’ll tell you a bit about myself.

An environmental nerd and hobby artist turned Graphic Designer. I have a background in the rigid fields of pollution insurance, physical geography, and environmental studies. I strive to combine my skills from these disciplines with my love for design and art to create strategic designs with clear purpose and function. I value dedication, organization and structure but never hold back from a chance to play around and explore new ideas. I specialize in maintaining a positive attitude and communicating brand personality and values through illustrations. I am passionate about helping others and the planet and aim to leave everything better than I found it.

When I’m not at school, you can probably guess that I am painting or creating something, but I also love to spend time outdoors, hiking, walking my dog or enjoying a sunny afternoon with
a craft beer in hand.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, I’d love to connect!
