CREATIVITY + CONNECTION

Great design does more than look good. it creates connection and tells your story.

My goal is to create intentional brand experiences that help businesses grow with focus, confidence, and purpose—by identifying their ideal clients and uncovering the “why” behind their work.

WHAT I VALUE + WHAT SHAPES THE WORK I DO

  • Design should be purposeful, rooted in clarity and meaning—not just aesthetics.

  • I infuse each brand with a distinct, artistic point of view—where creative expression meets clear purpose.

  • When design is clear and cohesive, it speaks volumes. I aim for simplicity that feels grounded, intentional, and quietly bold.

My creative journey began in the nineties—deep in finger paints, rendering a wobbly portrait of Lady Elaine Fairchilde from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood that my mom still keeps tucked away. I vividly remember sketching my initials again and again, twisting them into different shapes and lockups—long before I even knew what a logo was.

That early love for illustration evolved into a passion for design: first on paper, then on screen. After earning my B.S. in Graphic Design from Southern Adventist University in 2016 and interning Humanaut, an agency in Chattanooga, TN, I kicked off my career at Wofford College, a liberal arts school in South Carolina. I started as a designer and eventually moved into leadership; first as Creative Director, then as Senior Director of Marketing and Creative Services. I had the opportunity to guide strategy, design, and storytelling for over seven years, pursuing freelance on the side, not fully knowing where it would lead.

In 2025, everything shifted. I reconnected with a longtime friend from college, Jamin, and quickly realized he’d been my person all along. That connection brought me west to Reno, Nevada, where I began a brand new chapter. With a full heart and fresh perspective, I’ve poured myself fully into Karyn Davis Creative.

When I’m not at my desk, you can usually find me outside—hiking, exploring, or camping in the back of our Tacoma, experimenting with a new recipe, or curating my latest playlist.
