about me


Graphic Designer with expertise in editorial design & branding.
I am Dearna, a multi-disciplinary designer from Whangarei who has a passion for creating work that delivers knowledge, conveys confidence, and serves a purpose within the community.
With over five years of experience in social media management, video editing, and education, I bring a broad skill set that extends beyond the screen and allows me to craft meaningful designs.
Specialising in graphic design, editorial design, and branding, I constantly explore new disciplines such as 3D, animation, and UX/UI to enrich my practice. This curiosity fuels my dedication to crafting purposeful projects that connect with audiences on a deeper level.
