I’m Skylar Franklin, a

and much more ;)

from Phoenix, AZ

I found my interest in design in high school when I took an advertising design course. I immediately fell in love with it and wanted to open the door to see where it could lead me.
That curiosity led me to create my own small creative venture,
Graphic Central Design, where I began sharing my work and taking on commissions. What started as a high school project became the name that continues to represent my creative journey today. I continued to pursue my passion and graduated with a BFA in Design and Art. Throughout my journey, I have learned so much and continue to expand my creative palette
and have added a special place in my heart for experimental branding, event marketing, and social campaigns.

I’ve always loved the impact design can have on marketing. Because of that, I found my way into the marketing world, working alongside different teams and helping bring clients visions to life while elevating their businesses. Along the
way, I’ve gained hands-on experience in marketing strategy, project management, and confident decision-making. Most importantly, I’ve learned that the way I create and envision
ideas can have a lasting impact. I continue to challenge
myself to think outside the box, push creative boundaries,
and turn the unthinkable into something timeless!

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me being a bubbly goofball, experimenting in the kitchen, or baking something
that I’ll insist everyone needs to try. I’m a big foodie girl and an even bigger snacker (seriously I’ll eat an entire bag of chips in one sitting). I’m also a big fan of the color green as you can tell, all things fall (I will deck out my entire place for Halloween
head to toe), and getting way too invested in a good movie
or TV show.


Lets open the next door together and create
