Hi, I’m Declan Gainey — a freelance graphic artist and creative consultant based in Los Angeles, crafting bold visual stories through design, animation, and code.
I earned my degree in Art and Technology from the University of Oregon, building a strong foundation in both visual creativity and technical design. My past work includes consulting for Nile, where I helped develop impactful visuals that strengthened brand identity and user experience.
Specializing in Adobe Creative Suite, UI/UX, and branding, I create immersive work that spans digital illustration, motion design, and interactive, code-driven experiences.
One of the most transformative moments in my journey was studying art in Paris, where I immersed myself in European visual culture — a perspective that continues to shape my creative voice.
I’m also a co-founder and creative lead at Amerikid, an LA-based art collective and streetwear brand focused on tie-dye, digital media, and limited-run drops. I oversee visual direction, design assets, and brand strategy.
Currently working as a freelance designer, I collaborate with clients across industries to bring bold, original ideas to life. Let’s work together — connect with me through social, Fiverr, or Upwork.
