Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!

I'm a proud girl mom, equal parts gym enthusiast and foodie. As a TikTok addict, I fully embrace my zillenial spirit and love to have fun! I'm a pro at midday naps and splurging on fonts, with a passion for building bold brands and unique designs.

Hey, I'm Kael :)

KAEL THE DESIGNER

Small town soul, big time dreamer

Ever since I was seven, my fascination with design has been unstoppable, beginning with endless hours on Microsoft Paint and Word. Summers were a canvas for my digital creations, and by elementary school, I was coding custom MySpace pages for friends and family. My passion grew through middle and high school, where I became the go-to designer for class shirts and school events. In high school, I joined a New Media program, quickly becoming the resident designer, even creating collateral for the school and branding a food truck for the culinary arts program.


I pursued formal education at the Art Institute of San Diego and Lansing Community College, supplementing my learning with courses from CodeSquad and Avocademy to refine my skills. With over five years of experience, I've worn many hats as a white label designer, freelancer, and founder of my own design business, The Fine Design Co. My specialties lie in crafting visual brand identities and web design. I'm fueled by a relentless passion for design and excited for the endless possibilities ahead.
