Description

Hi there! I’m Saskia, a creative, hands-on designer with over 5 years of creative experience helping startups, nonprofits, and global brands tell their stories through powerful visuals and seamless user experiences.

I work fluently in English and French (and I’m getting pretty good at Spanish too!).

I love exploring ideas and turning them into designs that connect — whether that’s building a new brand identity, shaping an engaging user journey, or crafting a clean, impactful visual system. My work adapts to any project scale, from quick-turnaround social assets to full-scale digital design systems.

What I Do:

• Branding & Identity – logos, visual systems, brand storytelling

• UX/UI Design – sketching, wireframing, prototyping, design systems

• Visual Design & Content – infographics, presentations, social media templates

• Illustration & AI Image Generation – creative visuals, image editing, concept art

I’m proud to be an award-winning designer with a proven track record of happy clients and successful projects. I’m easy to collaborate with, detail-oriented, and always focused on creating meaningful, beautiful design.

Let’s have a chat to bring your ideas to life and make your brand or product stand out for all the right reasons.
