WHO WE ARE *
I’m Jade—designer behind
Slate & Cipher.
Most of the work I see skips the part that actually matters. It starts with visuals before understanding what needs to be solved. That’s how things end up looking good, but not doing anything.
That’s not how I work.
Everything starts by breaking the problem down—what’s unclear, what’s not working, and what’s being overlooked. Once that’s figured out, the design becomes straightforward.
That’s the “cipher.”
From there, it’s about building something clean and intentional. No extra noise, no overdesign—just work that does what it’s supposed to do.
That’s the “slate.”
What I Do
I focus on branding, social content, and marketing visuals for businesses that need work that actually gets used.
That includes:
Brand identity and visual systems
Social content and campaign design
Event marketing and real-world assets
Most of the work is built for real environments—places where design has to perform, not just exist.
If you’re looking for something just to fill space, I’m probably not the right fit.
If you want something built with intention, we can do it right.
