My name is Shakayla Goree. I am the founder and artist behind So Graphic, my catch-all creative platform. So Graphic is my way of describing eye- (or ear-) catching art which is all I ever plan to create! I'd love to think they're quite killer! Pun intended!

 

Art is my niche; It has never been a stranger to me. Whether it was through drawn or written means of expression, I have loved and basked in art since I was a child. Writing was my initial method of conveying and processing my thoughts. It is still my most beloved form of expression.  I started writing whilst journaling woes in my early childhood; Then, I progressed to writing poetry when I was introduced to it a bit later in grade school. I loved the sense of release and beauty it produced! Afterwards, I graduated to singing lyrics I dreamt up. This my friend, has both my heart and my pen to this day!

​

My graphic designer journey began when, a new business owner desired to make a staple logo to attract clients. Love linked me to the project, as well as long nights while learning the artforms of creating digital art and promotional writing. The result was a branding design that was and is classic! I tend to think: Looks are not everything, but perception means a great deal in the early life of a business!

​

The perk of being able to create graphics is having the ability to hone in and aid an entity in portraying an image that represents what their brand is about with the focus on attracting their market audience. I also love reimagining what my clients give me and representing it to them to hear them say, "I didn't think of it like that, but that's exactly what I wanted!"
