ABOUT ME
Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Elizabeth, but friends call me (Liz) Garcia-Kohly. I’m a proud Florida Native with a passion for digital & graphic design + Visual storyteller. I’m on a creative mission to turn YOUR ideas into eye-catching art!
I chose my freelance path by starting LGKDesigns! I believe great design should be accessible, cohesive, and empowering. As a freelance Designer there is nothing more rewarding than helping a small business, a friend, or a creator find their visual voice. From minimalist logos to vibrant apparel, every project is a chance to craft something unforgettable – a chance to make a real impact, and that warm affirming feeling is the fuel behind my work!
Whether you’re a startup, content creator, or established brand, I thrive on translating your vision into designs that spark connection and confidence! <3
Freelance Digital Specialist
Creativity has always been my compass. From my earliest memories, I was “drawn” to unconventional artistic hobbies – filling sketchbooks with storyboards, character designs, and creating YouTube videos. Platforms like DeviantArt, Adobe Photoshop, and PaintTool Sai became my playgrounds, nurturing the skills that would shape my career.
By 14, I was editing lyric videos and building a YouTube following. I was discovering the magic of bringing ideas to life through digital design.
My passions led me to Crooms Academy of Information Technology, a prestigious IT magnet school. I honed my technical and creative skills. By graduation, I’d earned an Award Recognition as the “Top Graphic Design Student of 2018” – a milestone that cemented my love for Design and visual storytelling forever!
My professional journey began with designing logos and flyers for my aunt’s real estate business. What started as a side gig grew into a calling, as my work gained traction and expanded to collaborations with an IRA firm, a title company, and a luxury remodeling business. I crafted everything from social media campaigns to vehicle wraps. I was in love with elevating brands.
I’ve had the privilege of working with / rebranding local businesses, like an auto sales company, a real estate investment firm, Title Company, and an IRA company, helping them stand out with fresh identities. Each project fuels my belief that great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about connection.
I’m committed to growth, I regularly take master courses to refine my skill and tackle new challenges. While I embrace diverse projects, I’m especially passionate about work that reflects my Floridian roots and community-focused values.
Beyond the screen, you’ll find me thrifting flashy treasures, painting, fishing, or volunteering at animal shelters. Community matters to me, and I love partnering with brands that share that spirit.
