Discover the Designer Behind Granada Creative Studio
Hello! | ¡Hola!
My name is Sonia and I’m the owner + designer behind this creative studio. I’ve always enjoyed expressing myself visually and I love to do so through different ways of visual communication.
I’ve always had a passion for typography and in this studio, I love the idea of laying out great designs using fonts as the main character. Whether it be in working with editorial designs, working on branding identity projects, or simply designing something catchy for social media, typography in layouts is where I love to have fun. I’m also a big (huge!) fan of InDesign and it’s my main tool for designing. It’s not just for books or magazines.
I recently discovered that I also enjoy laying out designs in Squarespace and have even mastered some of those amazing CSS tricks to get a website to look unique in its style. It takes an organized person to understand and master this type of design and being organized is where I thrive.
I have worked on projects in the US, Mexico and Spain and am lucky to say that I am 100% bilingual in both English and Spanish. I feel comfortable communicating in either language.
How can I help you on your next project? ¿En qué le puedo ayudar? I’d love to hear from you!
My Working Style
You know we all have different working styles and personalities and it’s important that when working together, we click. It will always be my goal to provide you with the best design services I can offer and most of all, that you feel comfortable working with me. For your project to be a success, it is important that communication play a key role so that you can start promoting and selling your product.
Here are some guidelines to my working style so that you know what to expect from me.
Are we a good fit?
I’M YOUR DESIGNER IF YOU:
Like working with a little bit of structure and aren’t afraid of timelines and understand that this is important in order to keep the project on task.
Have a clear idea of who your target audience is and what it is you’re trying to accomplish (specifically for branding projects).
Trust me as an expert in my craft.
See me as a partner in making your visual elements come to life.
Put value in me getting the design right and not just “done”.
I’M PROBABLY NOT YOUR DESIGNER IF YOU:
Are needing “just” a logo (specifically for branding projects). It’s more than just a logo.
You don’t have a clear idea of what you want or who your target audience is and you want a little bit of everything to make it work.
Feel the need to micromanage my work and my pricing.
Like lots of phone calls and emails to check the status of the project.
Want to pay my design fees in the form of “exposure” on social media.
You get the idea…. (wink, wink)
