Hi, I’m Kiah (kee-yah). 👋🏽

I'm a brand designer based in New Haven, Connecticut, with a background spanning brand identity, packaging, and digital design.

My design career began in 2008, when I started freelancing while studying for my design degree. Since then, I've worked across a range of disciplines, from book publishing to consumer product design and creative development.

In 2016, I founded KSC, my independent design studio, to work directly with businesses on brand identity and packaging. In 2018, I launched Smithmade Essentials, my artisan goods brand, where I spent eight years as creative director building the brand from the ground up.

I'm driven by a love of design and a curiosity that keeps me learning, experimenting, and finding new ways to bring ideas to life.
