 "Sofia’s bright and creative design style matches the infectious personality she brings to a team. If you put a style guide in her hands she will make that brand own a virtual space with color, typefaces, and design elements throughout.

As a designer, she thrives in a world of natural, curvilinear shapes but can keep things modern and minimal when needed.
