Hi I'm Ayanna, a Bermudian/Scottish graphic designer and the heart behind Studio Aya
backstory stuff
At 18, I made the life-changing decision to move from Bermuda to the UK to study Graphic Design and Illustration. Ever since I could hold a pencil, creativity has been at the heart of who I am—whether it was sketching, painting, or experimenting with new ideas, I always knew I wanted to follow a creative path.
​
I’ll admit, there was a moment when I considered a medical or scientific degree, but deep down I knew my passion belonged to a future filled with art, design, and storytelling. Now, I channel that lifelong passion into bold, curious, and personality-packed design—helping brands tell their stories in ways they can’t stop showing off.
and now
I'm absolutely grateful to have chosen a path where I get to create for a living. Since making the move, I’ve been lucky to have incredible support and to gain experience in university, in a design agency and in my current role as a full-time packaging designer for a large corporation.
​
I’ve had the joy of working with amazing clients back home in Bermuda, and now I’m ready to expand that—collaborating with wonderful brands and businesses from all over the world.
​
Let’s create something bold, beautiful, and unforgettable together!
my brand values
Authenticity
​
I'm all for creating a brand that matches who you are, what you value, your unique take on the world, and how to want to visually communicate with it.
OMG Yes!
​
I aim to have my designs spark that wow factor and happiness, both when viewed by a client and the rest of the world.
Humanness
​
In a world of emerging technology (and ChatGPT) I aim to have a human centered approach. Let's laugh, tell jokes, just have fun during the creative process.
Collaboration
​
You should have a say in how your brand turns out. I'm here to help bring to life the idea you have that feels authentic to you.
what's with the red pandas?
You've probably noticed the red panda illustrations floating around by now. Red pandas the mascot for Studio Aya. Their playful nature inspires me and the cute, silly videos I find of them online are perfect for when taking breaks between designing.
