My Story

I have always loved design and style ever since I can remember. It wasn't until high school when struck with health issues that I found my passion for design and styling. As I was extremely limited I found a creative outlet and started sketching and making collages from magazines.

After some rough years, I persevered through it and received my degree in Fashion Merchandising and loved every second of it. During fashion school, I started a life + style blog and started to get recognized by my peers and teachers for my illustrating skills and started helping them with their own blogs and social media. This is where I found my love for graphic design. Students were coming to me for help with Adobe programs and techniques. I started Cali Jae Designs in November of 2014 when I felt called to start my branding and design business. I have worked with some of the most amazing women across the world and have created lasting relationships which I value greatly. I love helping female entrepreneurs build and grow their brands, I love sharing inspiration and empowering others to stand in their power!
