Event Production               Graphic Design              About          

 

Hey, nice to meet you!




I’m Gabby — a designer and experiential creative based in Orange County, CA. I’m drawn to the intersection of live events, brand systems, and audience engagement, where visuals extend beyond the screen and into real-world experiences.

With a BFA in Graphic Design and an MA in Leadership Development from Chapman University, I approach creative work through both strategy and collaboration. My background spans event production, brand identity, and digital marketing, with a particular interest in how physical environments and visual systems shape the way people feel, move, and connect. I’m inspired by storytelling through entertainment, live experiences, and brand-driven campaigns, where design and emotion come together to create memorable moments.

Oh, and I'm only 4 awards away from an EGOT.

For my part I know nothing with any certainty,
but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
