Welcome! I am a graphic designer, journalist, and photographer with 27 years of experience and a wide range of ever-evolving industry skills.

​

I began my career in newspapers, intending to pursue my passion for writing and editing. Along the way, I discovered a natural talent for design and visuals. That newspaper foundation instilled in me a love for accuracy and organization, which pairs well with my instinct for creativity and spectacle. I first learned to type on a typewriter in high school and created newspapers with paste-up boards and light tables in college. Today, I’m a seasoned designer in a modern industry that looks nothing like the world I started in — but I’ve never shied away from learning the latest software or platform. Over the years, I’ve added photography, video editing, animation, and web design to my toolkit.

If you’re looking for assistance with a project, I offer a variety of design and visual services for both print and digital spaces. Feel free to email me at kiahstaley@gmail.com.
