Rosen

Branding she, her

Lily is a go-getter graphic designer jazzed about storytelling and standout ideas. She weaves tone and texture into her projects with a soft spot for playful copy, nifty typography, and dashing visuals. The common thread? Keeping work fresh. Beyond the artboard, you’ll find her crafting “experimental” makeup looks—likely salvaged by glitter.
