About Me

Hi, I’m Adrianna Mena—a creative strategist, designer, and memoji superfan.

I help nonprofits, founders, and growing teams bring structure to their vision and consistency to how they show up. My work spans branding, UX, design systems, and marketing—always with a focus on clarity, collaboration, and thoughtful execution.

With over 15 years of experience across in-house roles, freelance partnerships, and agency collaborations, I’ve led brand refreshes, launched content systems, and designed everything from campaign assets to full websites. I’m at home in the messy middle—translating big ideas into practical tools and experiences people can actually use.

Clients come to me when they need someone who can think strategically, design intentionally, and manage the process with care. I bring calm to complexity, structure to vision, and a deep respect for the work and the people behind it.

literally no one:

me:

I'm a Cancer sun, Gemini moon, Libra rising. Emotionally intuitive, mentally agile, aesthetically inclined. I feel the work, talk it through, and make it look good doing it.
How I Work

Work Process

01
Discovery & Alignment

Start with listening. I review existing brand materials, audit what’s working, and lead strategic conversations to clarify goals, audiences, and context. This is where we find the shape of the work.

Concept & Design

Ideas turn visual. I sketch, map, and build concepts that translate your vision into form. Moodboards, wireframes, design systems, or campaign messaging—all tailored to your project’s goals.

03
Feedback & Refinement

This is where it gets sharper. We workshop what’s working, refine what needs clarity, and strengthen the connection between the work and your audience. Everything moves toward alignment.

Build & Launch

The final files, the final stretch. Whether it's a Webflow site, campaign rollout, or brand guide handoff, I make sure the work is not just beautiful, but ready. I also stick around to support implementation or consult on what’s next.
