THE PATH WE FOLLOW
Meet Your Mountain Guide—
Hey, I’m Riley—your creative guide to bold branding and digital storytelling.
I’m a designer, social strategist, and big believer in the power of branding to make meaningful connections. Graduating from Virginia Tech in 2025 with a BFA in Graphic Design and a minor in Advertising, I’ve built my creative career around helping small businesses and nonprofits stand tall with branding and social media that truly reflects who they are.
As the Founder and Head Creative of Riley Kaufman Creative Co., I work with purpose-driven brands to craft strategic, human-centered design experiences. Think of me as your mountain guide—helping you navigate the climb to a cohesive, impactful brand presence, whether that means building from the ground up or refining what’s already there.
At Virginia Tech, I’ve immersed myself in the creative community as the Creative Director for AIGA VT, leading design direction and social media, and as the Outreach Director for the Wesley Foundation, using strategy and storytelling to strengthen community engagement. These experiences have shaped my approach—blending creativity, strategy, and collaboration to build brands that not only look good but truly connect.
Beyond design, you’ll find me chasing mountain views, sipping coffee (or a good craft brew), and exploring new places—always on the lookout for great food and even better stories.
Let’s create something unforgettable together.
MY PROCESS FOR ELEVATING YOUR BRAND–
Building a brand is a journey, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My process is built on creativity, collaboration, and authenticity, ensuring that your brand not only looks great but also feels true to who you are.
We’ll start by mapping out your vision with a collaboration call, uncovering what makes your brand unique, and setting a strategic foundation. From there, we’ll climb together—through thoughtful design, intentional storytelling, and refining every detail—to create a brand identity that stands tall and connects deeply with every experience your audience has. Whether we’re building from the ground up or fine-tuning an existing presence, this journey is about crafting something that’s not only visually striking but also unmistakably you.
