About & Contact

Hi, I’m Shirene (sher-een) — a designer focused on branding, logo design & development and marketing collateral. My background in art, retail, marketing, and social media helps me combine creative storytelling with thoughtful design that connects deeply with people.

I studied Art History at the University of Washington (with a minor in French and a certificate in sales & marketing) and later completed the User Interface/Visual Design for Digital Program at the School of Visual Concepts. I’ve worked on everything from logos and brochures to infographics and brand materials — including one logo that became the official mark for Otsuka Pharmaceuticals’ patient-driven initiative.

My design style lives somewhere between minimalist and dreamy — Life can be chaotic and stressful, and so I love creating immersive work that makes people feel uplifted, safe, and inspired. I'm all about creating emotionally safe spaces. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me making mixed media portraits, reading novels, writing poetry, or rewatching Frasier.
