Hey there—I’m Scarlet, though some still know me as Snapies (a nickname I earned back in 2007 for snapping photos at lightning speed). I’m a visual storyteller, design nerd, and photography junkie with a love for dramatic lighting, quirky street scenes, and beautifully kerned type.
I started my design journey as a Computer Layout Artist in the Philippines, working with tools like CorelDRAW, PageMaker, and early versions of Photoshop. After moving to Chicago, I paused my career to raise my family—then returned with renewed purpose, earning my BFA in Graphic Design and updating my skillset with the Adobe Creative Suite.
Today, I have over a decade of real-world design experience and a background that spans corporate branding, publication design, advertising, and marketing collateral. I’ve art-directed 100+ page publications, built advocacy infographics from personal experience, and supported sales and creative teams with design that feels both strategic and human.
Outside the office, I chase light with my camera and aim to document the wild, weird, and wonderful across all 50 U.S. states. I’m endlessly inspired by the magic other creatives bring to life—and I aim to do the same: using design to tell stories, connect people, and help small brands look like big ones.
If you love bold visuals, smart type, and design with heart, we’re already on the same wavelength.
“Creativity is intelligence having fun.” – Albert Einstein
Let’s make something awesome together.
