Selected Quests
A collection of branding, campaigns, digital experiences, social content, and other creative rabbit holes I've happily wandered into.
Every project starts with a different problem to solve—which is probably why I like this work so much.

My Creative Toolkit
I like wearing a lot of hats. Sometimes that's designer, sometimes it's marketer, sometimes it's web nerd—and usually it's some combination of all three.
-
Brand identities, campaign creative, print, digital graphics, and visual systems that give ideas somewhere to live.
-
Social strategy, content creation, graphics, short-form video, and campaigns made for actual humans scrolling on the other side of the screen.
-
Websites, e-commerce, landing pages, and digital experiences that balance good design with a good user experience.
-
Creative thinking backed by a reason for doing it—from campaign concepts and content strategy to figuring out what the heck we're actually trying to accomplish.
The Human Behind the Screen
Hello!
Hi, I'm Akasha—a multidisciplinary creative calling the Minneapolis area home.
I've built my career somewhere at the intersection of design and marketing, which means I'm just as happy obsessing over typography as I am digging into a campaign strategy, building a website, or figuring out why a piece of content isn't quite working.
I'm endlessly curious, chronically caffeinated, and rarely without some kind of creative side quest in progress.
When I'm not staring lovingly (or angrily) at Adobe Creative Cloud, you'll probably find me reading, making something I absolutely did not need another hobby for, exploring the Twin Cities, or going down a paranormal rabbit hole.
Have a quest for me?
Whether you're a Minneapolis business looking for creative support, a team in need of another creative brain, or you've just got an idea that needs figuring out—I'd love to hear about it.
