Hello! I’m Maky Bautista, a SoCal-based graphic designer focused on branding, editorial design, and creative direction. Inspired by culture, community, and personal experiences, I create work that tells stories and explores how design can bring people closer to others and themselves.

I believe design is more than visual communication, I believe it is a tool for connection. My projects explore how thoughtful design can build identity, spark conversation, and create experiences that resonate with people long after the interaction ends.

When I'm not designing, you can find me exploring the California coast, journaling at the beach, or challenging myself with a new physical activity (if my knees will allow). Whether you're here to explore my work or learn a little more about me, I'd love to connect and share a conversation.
