About Sunswirl Studio
Hello, I'm Kiana. The artist behind Sunswirl Studio.
I started out as a traditional artist, drawn to color, texture, and the way design can quietly shape how something feels. That hands-on beginning has led me into brand design, where I still get to tell stories, just in a more intentional way.
I’ve always been drawn to the kinds of designs most people pass by without a second thought, things like restaurant coasters, takeout menus, old transit maps, snack wrappers, and museum tickets. I started collecting when I was little and haven’t stopped.
Now, my studio is filled with hundreds of treasures I’ve found while traveling! They’re like little design time capsules. My favorites are the food packaging labels!
That appreciation for everyday design is at the heart of my work. I create branding that feels grounded, thoughtful, and full of character, something that not only looks good, but actually means something.
