Origin Story

My journey in design began with a yearbook, where I first discovered a love for building in Illustrator and InDesign. The evolution of an idea from concept to production, working with your team for months on end, and eventually holding in your hand a real-life book that you had a part in creating, was the type of work I knew I was made for. This eventually led me to earn a BFA in Design from St. John's University, where I served three consecutive years on the Vincentian executive team, two as Editor-in-Chief.

This initial experience of designing as a part of a larger team allowed me to take on freelance projects with an added level of care and communication with my clients.

  • Gabriella's collaboration approach and delivery - is top notch. Going above and beyond with the design explorations and GIFs, as well as how incredible the full brand kit is - wow. It's all just wow.

  • Gabriella is a constant. When all other things waver, she remains patient and consistent. The team appreciates that they know how to collaborate with her and can expect excellent work in return. Her professionalism has garnered herself high respect and trust.

  • The work Gabs has delivered across brand programs has been beautiful, consistent, and thorough. I can trust that she will proofread and edit to ensure accuracy, she has the confidence to question something that doesn't look right, and I love that she never misses a deadline. I could not ask for a better partner!
