Who is Krystal Sofia

I'm Krystal Sofia Hernandez — a designer, creator, and problem-solver based in Illinois. My work lives at the intersection of graphic design and user experience, with one core goal: building things that feel as good as they look.

I'm currently a Retail Merchandiser while completing a UX Design certificate and Graphic Design program (expected August 2028) — formalizing what I've been doing naturally for years. I design with intention, think about the person on the other side of the experience, and always ask: does this actually work for them?

My background across retail, pharmacy, and production has sharpened skills that translate directly into design — precision, adaptability, and a sharp eye for detail. My portfolio reflects real range: brand logos, event flyers, book covers, invitations, certificates, and handcrafted cards. Every project was built with purpose. Every project made me better.

Outside of design, I'm a gamer, a nature lover, and a hands-on card maker — someone who genuinely loves a good problem to solve. That same curiosity drives every project I take on.

I'm actively building toward a full transition into UX and digital design, and I'm looking for teams who care deeply about the human side of technology. If that's you — let's connect.

LETS CREATE TOGETHER

Great design starts with a great conversation. Whether you're looking for someone to bring a single project to life or a dedicated creative to grow with your team long-term, I'm ready for both. Let's connect and create something worth being proud of.
