Graphic Design
After working in the industry for 12 years, I’ve loved specializing in branding and logo design. I’m also excited about learning more about sports graphics and expanding my knowledge on social media graphics.
Social Media
I’ve managed social media accounts for the last 10 years for various companies staying up-to-date on the latest trends and best practices for an effective campaign.
Calligraphy
In 2015 I started my calligraphy business, Chanel Creates, which focuses on signage for weddings, special events, and an Etsy shop.
Hey there, I´m Chanel, designer, branding enthusiast, and collector of fonts
Chanel Cook is a graphic designer, calligrapher, and cheese lover living in sunny Southern California. As a San Diego native, she takes inspiration from vintage and minimalist styles in her designs. She has been working in the graphic design industry for 12 years. Her designs range from the food and beverage industry to non-profit arts organizations. She loves encouraging the growth and engagement of small businesses through design and organic connections.
Being a creative never stops and Chanel also owns a calligraphy small business, Chanel Creates, where she focuses on day-of wedding signage and paper goods. Chanel Creates, formerly Dixie on Dallas, was named after Chanel’s pet bunny Dixie, when they lived on Dallas Street. With each piece, she likes to focus on creating items that can live in couple’s homes for years to come to remember their special day by. While Chanel Creates mainly focuses on weddings and special events, any and all new opportunities are welcomed! Learn more by clicking the Chanel Creates menu item above.
Her other passions include animal rescues, country music, cheering on local sports teams, and deep-diving on Pinterest to find the newest trends in design.
