Design as a quiet form of care.

I’m Chloe Gao, a creative designer with over a decade of experience shaping brands, publications, and digital products. I work with founders, cultural institutions, and teams who care about the details.

My approach is research-led and craft-obsessed. I believe the best design feels inevitable — like it could not have been any other way. Getting there means asking better questions, prototyping early, and editing without mercy.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me collecting type specimens, photographing quiet streets, and over-thinking my coffee.
