I build brands that look exceptional and perform — across packaging, digital, retail, and social commerce. Los Angeles—based. Working remotely with founders and teams worldwide.
Malia forbath, creative director/art director and designer in los angeles.

15+ years designing and directing for beauty, lifestyle, and CPG brands — across identity, packaging, digital, email, and social commerce. I don't have a signature aesthetic. I have a process — rooted in customer research, competitive analysis, and knowing what the market is missing. The work speaks for itself.
