KIND DESIGN STUDIO

we’re all about

kindness, intention and a whole lot of heart.

You could do anything, but you chose to take a risk on yourself. It’s paying off and now it’s time to find a design partner to help elevate your business to the next level. Good news- you’re in the right place.

the kind story

You’d think my future in design would have been obvious when I was 12, making powerpoints and begging my teacher to share them with the class (cringe).

However, my career path wasn’t that linear. I sold pies, worked in coffee shops and spent my fair share of time in a corporate cubicle. Eventually, I realized what I really wanted to do was be creative and help others.

Leaving the stability of a corporate job to take a chance on yourself? I know that feeling. I also know the struggle that comes with starting from scratch. That’s why I started Kind Design Studio. To work with kind, heart-led businesses that were brave enough to take a chance on themselves.

When you work with Kind, you’re not just getting a designer—you’re gaining a business bestie who’s here to cheer you on, every step of the way. I believe kindness and empathy are the most underrated superpowers in business. If we’re aligned on that, I think we’ll get along perfectly.

  • I'm inspired by:

    History, flowers and nature, travelling and art museums, vintage kids books, midcentury furniture and design

  • My friends would describe me as:

    An old soul. I’m essentially 30 going on 75 with no shame. I love spending time at home, gardening and being in the kitchen.

  • My personality test results:

    I’m an ISFJ—a warm and steady type with a focus on practicality and detail. I like to make sure everything is just right, whether that’s in life or design.

  • My go-to fun fact:

    I’ve never had a big mac - like ever.

  • Offloaded design work from business owners so they can spend more time with family then Canva

  • Working strategically so you’ll get the highest return on your investment

  • Help craft brands that have clients on a waitlist a year out

So, how can I help you elevate your business?

“Even though it was just a website refresh, Shaylyn really worked with us to finesse our brand identity and ensure that our business goals were addressed. Her whole process and platform is extremely streamlined and professional. She really considers everything you want, helps you to organize your ideas, and pieces it together in an aesthetic and thoughtful way.

As a cherry on top, Shaylyn is also super fun and kind. We would absolutely hire her again and definitely recommend her to anyone looking to invest in their small business, be it full brand identities or website design!!”
