About Me

Hello, I'm Dena — the heart behind Freebird Design. With over 15 years of photography experience and a Bachelor in Fine Arts for Graphic Design (web + print). I’ve always been drawn to visual storytelling and intentional design.

Whether you're launching something brand new or giving your brand a fresh start, I offer both hands-off and fully managed web design services to meet you where you are. I believe in making tech feel simple, design feel personal, and your online presence feel like home. Let’s build something that works for you and wows your customers. In addition to your web presence, I also offer logo design, branding headshots, re-branding, social media services, website management, search engine optimization and printed graphics for your business.
