I'm a UX and graphic designer. I build brand identities, lay out publications, design interfaces, and retouch images — with the detail that usually takes a second pass.

Design is never
an accident.

I'm Amanda Vest — UX and graphic designer behind Chaos Ctrl Design. I build brands, lay out books, design apps, and retouch images. Most of my best work starts with a second pass.

I work with founders and small teams who want things to look right and work right. Files stay organized, feedback stays focused, and I reply within 24 hours.

What I do

I work across four disciplines and hold the same standard on every one.

01
Brand Identity & Logo Design
I design marks and systems that read at favicon size and still hold up on packaging and signage.
02
Typography & Document Design
I lay out books, reports, and long-form documents — structured, readable, and ready to print or send.
03
UX / UI Design
I design screens and flows around how people actually use an app — not how a deck describes it.
04
Photo Editing, Composites & Product Photography
I retouch and composite imagery so it belongs in your brand world — not floating on white.

Brand Identity & Logo Design

01 — Identity

Skincare Brand Identity

OLUNA, NUVORO, and VESIRA. I built three separate logo, type, color, and packaging systems so the brands would never get mixed up.

Get Glaz'd

I made five logo directions for a donut brand. Brush script, drip, and badge lockups so the client could pick a street-food look that still works on a box.

How the chaos
gets controlled.

01
Discover
I talk through your goals, audience, and what's already working — and ask the direct questions upfront.
02
Define
I write down scope, timeline, and deliverables before work starts — so you know exactly what you're paying for.
03
Design
I share concepts, take your feedback, and refine. Revision rounds stay tight so the project keeps moving.
04
Deliver
I deliver production-ready files, named right, with notes if you need them — a handoff you can run without me.

LET'S
BUILD
SOMETHING.

I start every project with a conversation. Tell me what you're building — timeline, budget, links. Whatever you have is enough to get started.
