about us
We are twin sisters combining our creative strengths to build something new together. With a background in graphic design and illustration (Aubrey) and a passion for expressive fine art (Ariel), our work blends thoughtful design with painterly intuition. Drawing from diverse experiences and shared roots, we create art and design that feels both modern and deeply personal—work that tells stories, inspires connection, and brings imagination to life.

Graphic Designer
AUBREY Baeza
Aubrey is a graphic designer and illustrator with a B.S. in Visual Communications and a minor in Studio Art from San Francisco State University. Raised in a military family, her early years were filled with exposure to diverse cultures, landscapes, and perspectives around the world—experiences that continue to inspire her creative vision today.
Her design work bridges the natural and the constructed, often blending vibrant palettes with thoughtful storytelling to create meaningful and lasting impressions. Beyond her passion for design, Aubrey finds inspiration in the outdoors—whether hiking West Coast trails, road tripping with her husband, or gathering driftwood and found objects to transform into spontaneous art pieces.
Currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Aubrey is excited to begin a new creative adventure alongside her twin sister, combining her sister’s expressive fine art with her own design expertise. Together, they are building a collaborative practice that unites painting, illustration, and design to bring imaginative projects to life.
