Creative Experts Behind Brand Growth.

More than a studio. A steady partner.

Serving DC and beyond, I pair strategy with design craft and remain a constant partner so creative work moves forward with confidence.

Mission and Values

My mission is simple. I help brands show up with clarity, confidence, and creative integrity. I blend strategy, storytelling, and standout design so your visuals feel aligned and built to grow with you. Every project is a partnership, and every solution is shaped to move your brand forward with purpose. I am based in Alexandria and often meet with clients around the DC area when in-person time helps.

Collaboration

I do my best work with you, not just for you. I ask clear questions, listen closely, and invite the right voices to the table so we can reach shared goals and deliver strong outcomes together.

Curiosity

I stay curious. I test ideas, learn fast, and look for simple ways to solve complex problems. That mindset keeps the work fresh and the results effective.

Integrity

You can count on me. I set real timelines, keep promises, and communicate plainly. Accountability and respect guide every decision and every handoff.

Inclusion

Good design includes more people. I welcome different perspectives and build with accessibility in mind so your audience feels seen, respected, and ready to engage.

About the Founder

Gloria Funes

Founder + Creative Director

For two decades, I have worked as a creative partner and visual strategist across brand, web, and content design. I started this studio to close the gap between potential and presentation. Along the way, I learned to connect story and voice to the visuals that bring both to life. As a result, the process feels thoughtful, thorough, and tailored to each team I support.

My background includes studies in Graphic and Interactive Design at Northern Virginia Community College, plus a degree in Business Management and Communication from James Madison University. Together, that mix of craft and business sense keeps projects clear and outcomes strong. Clients often say the work feels easy and collaborative. Ultimately, that is the goal. When it helps, I meet in person around Alexandria and the DC area, so decisions come faster and momentum stays high.
