I'm Kal, a creative based in Chicago. Blending modern design with traditional art, I create visuals in branding, print, and illustration. My work is inspired by music, nature, culture, and bringing stories to life through color and composition.
With over 10 years of experience, I’ve led design and branding projects for clients like Home Chef, RX Bar, and Toyota, while also creating art that explores texture, movement, and emotion through analog and digital techniques.

GRAPHIC DESIGN
My art explores texture, form, and emotion, often through layered contrasts and mixed media. Each piece invites the viewer to connect with a sense of discovery and contemplation.
