Welcome 🤍

If you’ve found your way here, hi, I’m Cierra. I’m a full time graphic designer at Max Mara in New York City, a social media influencer & freelance graphic designer. Over the past few years I’ve gotten so many DMs asking how to get started in graphic design, how I built my career, what tools I use, and how to actually turn creativity into something sustainable. This Substack is my way of answering all of that in one place.

Here’s what you can expect going forward:

I’ll be sharing practical graphic design skills and tips. From getting started and building a portfolio to career advice, tools I love, and things I wish I knew earlier. Nothing overly technical or gatekeep-y, just real guidance you can actually use.

I’ll also be sharing monthly desktop wallpapers, along with behind-the-scenes thoughts on design and creativity. Paid subscribers will get exclusive discount codes to shop my wallpapers on Etsy and access to personal advice.

I’ll be sharing my current favorites from beauty, fashion, and the things I’m genuinely loving and using day-to-day.

This space is meant to feel inspiring but grounded, helpful but not overwhelming. Whether you’re curious about graphic design, building a creative career, or just love good visuals and recommendations, you’re in the right place.

Thanks so much for being here, I’m excited to create this together.

XO,

Cierra
