WHO I AM
Hello! My name is Shaliyah Jones, and I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
I've been fascinated by what I could do with paper and a pencil for as long as I can remember. I bring insight, strategy, imagination, and gut instinct to my creative process. I believe having a great purpose for your idea leads to great results, and I prefer design that feels human, bold, unique and has personality. As a young black woman, I believe design is an effective tool for developing one's personality and identity. I try to incorporate these elements into everything I create.
Graphic design is an exciting, creative, and professional field where I can apply my passion for art. As someone who likes to push myself, I see design as a discipline that never rests, and as a designer, I'll be constantly honing my skills. I'm always interested in learning about new trends, tools, technologies, and sources of inspiration. This is why I'm determined to become a professional in this field. It has become a meaningful part of my life. It gave me a fresh perspective, encouraging me to get out there and explore new things. The most successful designers are interested in more than just design. Lifelong learners are the most successful designers.
When I'm not working on my latest graphic design project, I might be doodling, listening to music, sewing, or having fun with my Cricut machine.
