About

Hi, I'm Aiya.

Portrait of Aiya McKinney

Thanks for visiting my portfolio! I have always believed that adding sparkle to anything makes it feel more special.

I love the creative part of marketing where imagery captures and promotes the personality and strategy behind a brand. And I believe that digital tools help make this process more effective and in tune with the customer.

I have been fortunate to gain experience across a range of brands and organizations, with wonderful mentors.

Enjoy!
