create!

We sit at the intersection of art and design. Where strategy and creativity comes together to help brands and people show up with clarity and confidence.

I’m Jahnna Blyden, a graphic designer and visual artist based in South Carolina and the founder and lead designer of CREATE! Studios. My work is rooted in thoughtful, user-focused design that balances clarity, creativity, and purpose. I’m passionate about bringing brands to life through strong visuals and intentional storytelling.

I have experience working across brand identity, digital design, print, and campaign materials, both in my full-time role in the public sector and through freelance and studio work. Through CREATE! Studios, I collaborate with organizations, ministries, and creative entrepreneurs to build brands that feel authentic, cohesive, and aligned with their mission.

Alongside my design work, I’m an exhibiting artist. My art explores identity, process, and human connection, and that perspective heavily influences how I approach design. I think a lot about how people experience visuals, how stories are communicated, and how design can create real connection.

I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, with a strong understanding of brand systems, accessibility standards, and visual consistency across platforms. I care deeply about creating work that not only looks good, but is clear, usable, and built with purpose.

Outside of work, I stay inspired by music, exhibitions, community spaces, and the ways culture and design intersect. I’m always open to meaningful collaborations and creative challenges that push ideas forward.
