hello, i'm Layla.

I consider myself to be a design chameleon — a “Layla of all trades” designer, director, mentor, entrepreneur, with a highly developed ability to change medium (print designer, web designer, motion graphics designer, writer, advisor) to better support the marketing and communication goals of an organization. My passions envelop all aspects of design research and production. My strong ability to communicate ideas verbally, in writing, and graphically make me a well-rounded creative addition to your team. I have a keen eye for detail in every project I complete with a user-centered approach rooted in universal design practice.
