A Birmingham local, McKinley grew up with a love for creating and making the things around her feel inviting and beautiful. After graduating from Auburn University with her BFA in Graphic Design, McKinley moved to Savannah, GA where she continued growing her skills and fell in love with using Graphic Design as a problem-solving tool. While the casual, low-country way of life has heavily influenced her design style, it was natural for McKinley to move back to her hometown and begin creating for a company that enhances the beauty of her community. In her spare time, you can find McKinley researching the latest trending typefaces with reality TV playing in the background.
