Hey! I’m Charmaine

I'm a designer based in Vancouver, BC with around seven years of experience in brand design, illustration, and motion.

My background is in visual communication — building brand illustration systems, developing assets for motion and animation, and designing across digital and print. I've collaborated with North American agencies and studios on projects for clients like Capital One, MIT Media Lab, and American Express.

More recently I've been drawn to the intersection of design and product thinking — how design decisions shape the experience for real people, and how they connect to broader goals: business outcomes, brand coherence, and the spaces where visual craft and strategy meet. I've been actively building in this direction, deepening my practice in UX and product design alongside my existing work.

I care about how things look and feel, how they scale, and why they work. That combination is what I bring to every project.

Currently open to product design, brand, and illustration projects!
