Hi, I’m Dawna!
I’m the artist and designer behind Sand Ruby Studio. ✨
Have you ever gone digging for sand rubies? You can find them in desert washes after a rain. Tiny, sparkling bits of garnet that have washed down from the mountainside, only visible when the water is flowing through the desert. I love them because when you find one, you feel like you’ve discovered a little secret, a literal hidden gem.
At Sand Ruby Studio, my goal is to help little gems - individuals and business who are doing good in the world - be found. I do that through building websites and guiding digital strategy, or by designing creative assets that make your space the talk of the town. All so you can get to the important work of doing what you do best - running your business!
My background is a mix of digital product design, illustration, entrepreneurship, art, and travel.
I’ve designed digital experiences (websites and apps) for big companies, educational start ups, small business, and everything in between.
I’ve also designed and painted both interior and exterior murals for homeowners and in support of downtown revitalization efforts.
I love doing both and would be thrilled to From initial concepts to final delivery, I have the experience to walk you through every step of the process. My goal is to see you succeed!
🌿 I’m especially interested in pivoting my work toward supporting sustainable travel and nature-focused brands. If this is you, let’s talk!
