I'm Sean Makana Sullivan, a San Diego–based visual communicator with island roots 🌺

I have a background as diverse as the people I design for. My work spans UX/UI, product, graphic, and web design, as well as illustration. I'm a fine artist—nay, craftsman—shaped affinity to beauty and functionality. 20 years in hospitality, 5 years teaching ESL and living in three different countries, and a love of language (I'm proficient in 6!) 🌏

Design, to me, is equal parts problem-solving, empathy, and aesthetics. I thrive on the process—sketching ideas, collaborating with others, refining with feedback, and building polished, human-centered solutions.Tools I love: Figma, Webflow (I built this site!), and any platform that brings clarity to complexity: I of course make good use of the Adobe Creative Cloud 🛠️

I’m always curious and eager to learn new things, and driven to design with intention—for impact, beauty, and real-world use 💥

Please reach out—I'd love to collaborate!
