WELCOME
My name is Khiara, and Khiartistry is my creation. I believe that art and design are key components of the human experience, and that creativity is an incredibly important skill and delightful way of interacting with the world. Feel free to peruse these pages to see examples of my work across several disciplines, and be sure to reach out if you have any curious questions or fun projects to discuss!
Skills
Puzzle Design
Clues, Codes, Ciphers, Secrets!
Creating games and interactive entertainment that engage with the inherent human traits of curiosity and wonder bring me so much joy! The styles of puzzles I've worked with and created are numerous and varied, covering a vast range of subjects, themes, mechanisms, and difficulty levels.
Production Design
Crafting Beautifully Functional Objects
In the creation of any physical good, there are several steps from initial idea to finished product - I particularly enjoy the design aspects of helping bring ideas into the physical realm! I've worked with a range of manufacturers, both domestically and abroad, on projects ranging in scope from singular bespoke items to multi-thousand unit production runs.
Graphic Design
Aesthetic Visual Communication
In a world filled with constant imagery and text, having striking, eye-catching, and clearly communicative designs is incredibly important. I've worked with a wide range of assorted graphic styles and needs, for all sorts of various uses and applications.
Concept Design
Developing and Expanding
Creative Ideas
Much of the design work I've done has required detailed development from the ground up. While I do quite enjoy working with clearly set prompts and guidelines, I am also consistently partial to helping flesh-out and develop early concepts, particularly if they're somewhat complex or convoluted.
Art & Illustration
Telling Stories through Imagery
I've been creating art in a variety of mediums all throughout my life. More recently, I've largely taken to doing vector based illustration, with strong colors and crisp lines. That said, I enjoy creating many different kinds of art, and am consistently excited when it's part of a project!
