About

It’s nice to meet you!

My name is Laura Svites (pronounced sah-vee-tez) and you’ve made it to—say it with me now—Svites Design, a site where I get to share the work I’m passionate about.

My creative style is notorious for being clean and streamlined. I love typography and sophisticated layouts, while also being a perfectionist when it comes to consistency and alignment. More importantly than that, I challenge myself every day to use design as a tool, not an end, to transform the world around me for better.

I demand more than just aesthetics. I call for design that is rooted in research, design that is intentional and strategic, and design that opens minds. 

“Good design is as little design as possible.”
— Dieter Rams
Ten Principles of Good Design

I’m currently an Associate Creative Director at a global advisory and advocacy firm with over 10 years of experience serving as a strategic creative advisor for organizations in education, energy, finance, and healthcare, as well as nonprofits focused on community impact. Every day, I collaborate with research analysts, paid media experts, copywriters, designers, and video editors to develop integrated campaigns, brand identities, and compelling storytelling. I take pride in leading a team of high-performing creatives and mentoring the next generation of talent.

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and a minor in Studio Art from James Madison University.

Thanks for visiting! Get in touch.
