I’m Kier Wise-Baker, and I go by they/them pronouns. I’m first and foremost a creative who loves to hone skills in a variety of mediums. I’ve worked as a graphic designer and illustrator both in-house and freelance for over 8 years, and my areas of focus have covered websites, advertising, illustration, motion graphics, identity design, video editing, social media, book design, card game design, print, and packaging. Along with design, I enjoy drawing, painting, and creative writing.
I currently work as a visual designer at Syndio, where my skillset helps bring pay equity to the workforce. It’s important that what I do in my life makes a difference in someone else's. I see design and art as tools that can be utilized to assist social change, and as a queer disabled person I’m passionate about helping marginalized communities—whether I’m part of them or not.
