Hi, I'm Makenna! I graduated with a degree in Visual Communications from Loyola University Chicago, where I developed strong skills in design principles, typography, and color theory. Additionally, I hold a minor in Entrepreneurship, driven by my passion for building and launching my own ventures. I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Wix, Canva, and Figma, enabling me to deliver high-quality designs that meet and exceed client expectations.

 

I’ve had the opportunity to work with TraceGains, where I advanced from Graphic Design Intern to Junior Graphic Designer, creating a range of content including webinar thumbnails, handbooks, and ads. I also redesigned numerous documents to align more effectively with their updated branding. My attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines ensured consistent project success.

 

Additionally, I manage the social media presence and coordinate events for Olor Coffee Bar in Chicago. This includes designing graphics, creating engaging reels, and organizing promotional events to boost the coffee shop's visibility and engagement.

 

My portfolio reflects my ability to adapt and innovate, and I’m excited to bring my skills to a new challenge!
