About
Brand & Digital Design Director | Sacramento, CA | 12+ years of experience
Hi, I’m Yanni. I’m a Brand & Digital Design Director who helps AI, SaaS, and B2B technology companies turn complex products into distinctive brands, scalable systems, and clear digital experiences.
Across more than 12 years, I’ve led and delivered identity systems, marketing websites, campaigns, motion, presentations, and product-marketing creative for startups and established technology companies. Most recently, as Design Director at Made Studios, I led brand, web, motion, and product-marketing engagements for venture-backed AI and technology companies.
Previously, at Canal (acquired by Rokt in 2025) I established the company’s first scalable brand system and redesigned and built its marketing website. At Flexport, I helped evolve the brand across web, campaigns, content, events, and product marketing as the company grew into a globally recognized logistics-technology leader.
I combine creative direction with hands-on execution. I’m comfortable moving from positioning and concept development through system design, motion, website production, and launch, while partnering closely with founders, marketing leaders, product teams, and developers.
I’m currently exploring full-time design leadership opportunities and selectively taking on independent brand and digital engagements through Davros Design.
