Hello, I’m Saira Rivera. A creative graphic designer with a passion for industries that prioritize human impact and serve people.

About Me

I use InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop on a daily basis. In my 10+ years as a graphic designer, I have managed and developed numerous projects including logos, brochures, ads, infographics, directional and event signage, swag item artwork, digital signage, social media graphics, motion graphics, gifs, stickers, PowerPoints, emails, templates and event slideshows. I love problem-solving (design-related or otherwise), and I’m passionate about creating meaningful and inspirational artwork using best practices in design.
