Paley Martin

Hi! I'm Paley, a Los Angeles-based designer and artist originally from Atlanta, Georgia.

I began my design journey in 2021, after making a COVID-era career pivot from the music industry. I'd worked at companies like Billboard, Def Jam, TIDAL, and Sony Music, only to realize that I was craving a more creative career path.

After graduating from the nine-month Shillington Design program, I started working with LA-based digital agency Funkhaus. At Funkhaus, I've had the wonderful opportunity to work across design disciplines and types of clientele, from venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins to production company Nafta Films to prominent real estate developer Trammell Crow, and more.

As a designer, my priorities are clarity, consistency, and awe. In a world full of so much noise, it's important to create designs that stand out and spark inspiration.

Beyond design, I host a monthly day party centered around building community through music. I also draw, paint, and play tennis and violin.
