Amber Raquel Design
As a Portland-based graphic designer, I strive create intentional, elegant designs while keeping in mind responsive design, accessibility, design trends, and the needs of target audiences.
My work is versatile, spanning various styles, but I have a strong affinity for vintage aesthetics, vibrant colors, and designs that truly pop.
I believe every design carries its own personality and presence. My work brings that to life through bold, intentional design that balances creativity with professionalism.
Whether developing a brand identity, designing a website, or creating marketing materials, I approach every design challenge with adaptability and a collaborative spirit.
