I'm Kieran Wilson, and I am a designer in Upstate, South Carolina!
As a designer, I thrive on delving beyond the surface to embrace the story and wonder within every vision. Like mind-bending abstractions and illusions that challenge our perceptions, design can be a wild ride through confusion and uncertainty when we're clueless about why we design.
So, how do I see design?
I see design as one of God's greatest gifts.
And with great power comes great responsibility, right? Every tiny detail in design matters. Design is about changing lives, sharing amazing stories, and infusing intentionality into everything we have the incredible opportunity to create! When I'm done, I want to look back at my life and think, "Huh, I really did make a difference." even if it's a small one.
I've done some pretty cool things with illustration, type design, layout design, branding, copywriting, photography, exhibition design, publications, package design, 3D modeling/rendering, and more.
If you want to chat, hit me up. Whatever works best for you – email, social media, carrier pigeon, you name it!
Thanks for hanging around and seeing what I do!
MY process
Here's a quick look into my process and how I approach design.
01
gimme the brief
I begin by determining or receiving what my next project is and read/work through all the ins and outs of it.
02
head first dive
Once I've thoroughly read through the brief, I jump right into the research to find anything and everything helpful I can!
03
cookin' & coffee
Ideas start flowing, solid directions are formed. Plus, we all know that every great process needs some delicious coffee!
04
help wanted
Next, I seek out feedback from fellow professionals and make necessary revisions. More eyes are better than two!
05
woo! all done!
All done! I will deliver the final designs in the needed format. Now there's some brand new design swag in the world :D
