Senior Designer
BROOKE HOLLAND
Brooke is a graphic designer and illustrator currently based in Los Angeles, CA. Born and raised in Texas, she got her B.S. in Advertising at UT Austin before making her way to the West Coast. When she’s not working, Brooke can probably be found at an art museum (the MOCA is her favorite locally), a movie theatre seeing the latest horror release, or at a coffee shop learning a new board game. She specializes in lettering and illustration and draws inspiration from nature, geometry, pistachio lattes and pastel colors.

Senior Designer
ANNA ZIVERTS
Anna is a multidisciplinary designer based in Santa Barbara, with over 14 years of in-house and freelance experience, much of it shaped by her career in New York City. She specializes in branding, print, digital, and web design, often stepping in as a senior creative partner when teams need clarity or extra support.
Her work spans alcohol and hospitality, fashion, cannabis, education, events, and service-based brands, with a strong focus on product-led businesses and long-term brand evolution.
Anna holds a BA and Master’s degree from Southern Methodist University and completed advanced studies in graphic design at Pratt Institute. A former Division I swimmer and team captain, she brings a disciplined, collaborative approach to her work.

Junior Designer
LILY SCHIFF
Lily Schiff is a designer based in New Orleans, completing her B.A. in Design at Tulane University with a minor in Architecture. Originally from Los Gatos, California, she grew up admiring how design and architecture coexist cohesively within her environment. Lily draws her inspiration from organic features seen in nature to pay homage to the natural beauty that surrounds her. Outside of the studio, Lily can be found traveling, at the beach, or with her dogs. She looks forward to returning to California following the completion of her degree.

Junior Designer
MIRA KAISER
Mira is a Santa Barbara–based designer and senior at UCSB, graduating this winter with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Media Arts and Design. Originally from the Bay Area, her work is driven by a love of storytelling and the way thoughtful design can shape how people connect with ideas. With a passion for both digital and hands-on making, she draws inspiration from the California coastline—its colors, textures, and natural forms. In her free time, she can often be found working on a new sewing project, reading a good thriller, or soaking up time by the beach.
