About Laura Kivisto Creative
Hi, I’m Laura Kivisto. I’m a Chicagoland graphic designer and illustrator with a simple and modern style. I combine my 20 years in design with fine arts to create compelling marketing and ad campaigns. My clients have included: American Academy of Pediatrics, Allstate, American Home Shield, American Residential Services, Nissan, Sears, and Sprout Social. I like white space, typography, vectors, and old-school R&B.

Recommendations
"Laura delivers fresh designs, on-time and on-budget. I appreciate her willingness to collaborate on concepts, offer a variety of original options, and work within our rigorous brand guidelines. I can't recommend her highly enough."
- Sara H., Marketing Manager, Consumer Products, American Academy of Pediatric
"Laura was everything I could have wanted in a team member and I would choose to work with her again today. To date, she is still one of the best designers I have worked with. She is smart, creative, opinionated and passionate. She is also an active participant in the art world outside of work, enabling her to have a more well rounded approach to design. Laura is a fantastic illustrator and designer who has a wide range of ability from the artistic to corporate."
- Stephanie G., VP, Brand Creative at Sprout Social, Inc.
"Laura was a valuable member of our team and any team would be lucky to have her talents and can-do spirit. She has a sophisticated design aesthetic that is modern and fresh and she has the ability to make it relevant to any message or product category. She can make the most vanilla topic look like rainbow sherbet. Laura also has a sharp conceptual mind and was an asset to every brainstorm. She’s goal-oriented, fast, funny and insightful. But my favorite part of having Laura on my team was seeing her grow in confidence in her role as Senior Art Director and as a presenter (her beloved improv classes help!) I am certain Laura is headed for great things."
- Suzy J., Group Creative Director, Epsilon
"Laura is a wonderfully insightful designer and very creative, with the ability to assimilate a great deal of information, quickly. What's more, she has a cool personality, making her a delight to work with."
- Sherry M., Associate Group Creative Director, Epsilon
"Laura is a detail-oriented designer who brings a stylish, sophisticated visual sensibility to every project she works on. She is a very talented artist and designer, and is a joy to collaborate artistically with. Her easygoing, down to earth personality makes her a pleasure to work with and communicate with as a teammate. When I started at Magnetstreet, Laura was the senior designer who trained me and I couldn't have asked for a better trainer, mentor, and colleague. I could always go to her for help or advice on any project I was working on, and she would help me find a solution. Any creative team would benefit from Laura's perspective and presence on their team."
