Welcome!

(ill•E•ahh)!

hi, I'm Illiah

I'm a creative director + brand designer to visionary business leaders, mentor to ambitious graphic designers, and mom to two gorgeous muses, C&V. 

At C&V Creative, we believe in more than just designing brands; we believe in crafting legacies. Our mission is simple yet profound: to elevate visual brands to iconic status, ensuring omnipresent visibility for our clients.

When faced with challenges, we don't just overcome them—we grow from them. We believe in continuous evolution, always striving to refine and elevate, never starting from scratch.

This philosophy permeates everything we do because we know that the best version of your brand is a reflection of the best version of you.

We're here to take the excellence you already possess and make it even better every single day. It's a journey of perpetual progress, and we're thrilled to be a part of it with you.

Our Approach:

My two muses
 + TaterTot

In 2017, amidst heartbreak and uncertainty, I found the courage to embark on a journey of self-discovery. From special-education para-educator to agency life, and finally, back to entrepreneurship as a brand designer, each step shaped me into who I am today.

During this transformative period, I discovered the profound joy of empowering magnetic, visionary women to advocate for themselves, to embrace their strength, and to exude their own confidence and beauty in every stride they take. Inspired by my daughters, Colette and Vivienne, I founded C&V Creative as a testament to my commitment to modeling success for them and for all the women we serve.



For me, it all started with a single word: BEGIN.
