about

my story

I am Paige Gibbs, a digital and visual designer striving to blend design, storytelling, culture, and innovation. I began with games and interactive projects. This is where I learned how systems, programs, visuals, and user experience shape how people feel and think.

That evolved into a love for visual communication, media, and narrative. I was eager to push my technical and creative knowledge to its peak.

I focus on identity, community, and digital spaces. I am constantly gliding between art and strategy.

my process

I begin with curiosity — listening, observing, and collecting. That translates into research understanding references from culture, community, and everyday life. I expand my vision to recognize the patterns.

Then, I turn the ideas into clear concepts. From there, I sketch, write, and prototype. I test what works and what does not. I focus on how things feel as much as how things function.

Then, I reflect.
