Hey There!
I’m Deja — a brand designer with a background in illustration and a lifelong love for exploring different creative mediums and unapologetically bright colors. What started as doodling on my mom’s walls and sketching on any surface I could find has evolved into a passion for creating bold art, brand identities, and quirky worlds through my illustrations.
I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a degree in graphic design, and today I spend my days creating art, collaborating with amazing clients, and illustrating my favorite foods. When I’m not working, you can usually find me hanging out with my dog, reading on my Kindle, baking, making music, or belting out songs at Tuesday karaoke night.
