powered by passion
I'm Linda, a Calgary graphic designer and founder of Desainz. My journey began as a personal passion and has grown into a creative studio driven by entrepreneurial journey, strategic thinking, creativity, and a genuine love for design.
Design with Strategy and Creativity
As a passionate graphic designer, I bring experience across branding, web design, and visual storytelling to every project. I approach my work with curiosity, empathy, and intention, valuing long-term collaboration and working closely with clients as true partners. My goal is to create thoughtful design that goes beyond aesthetics and supports meaningful, sustainable growth.
“I love what I do because design is my passion. I treat every project like my own, which motivates me to give my best and create meaningful work every day.”

More about Linda
Why I Design
Design is more than visual appearance to me. It is defined by how it functions and how it connects with people. Through meaningful visuals, I help shape brands that feel human, are remembered, and create lasting engagement.
My Approach
Guided by curiosity, I continuously explore emerging tools, design systems, and UX best practices to keep brands relevant and effective. I believe in a people-first, collaborative process, where client stories, ideas, and goals guide thoughtful and strategic design decisions
Outside of work
Outside of design, I spend time hiking with my dog, discovering new restaurants, cooking, taking photographs, and exploring culture and nature through travel. These experiences fuel my creativity and influence how I see the world and design within it.
Entrepreneurial Mindset
Growing up in an entrepreneurial family shaped how I approach design today. That foundation continues to influence my work, where creativity and strategy come together to help brands communicate with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
