ABOUT ME

Meet Naya( Ni-yuh) n.

As a seasoned designer and founder of TL Design Lab, I dedicate my efforts to crafting visually captivating brands and intuitive digital experiences. With a B.S. in Sociology and a background in Computer Science, I bring a unique blend of creativity and strategy to every project. I wake up every morning to deliver work that connects and converts.

My Process

Discovery

Every great project begins with understanding. At TL Design Lab, our Discovery phase is where we dig deep into your goals, audience, industry, and challenges. We listen closely, ask the right questions, and explore what makes your business unique. This step allows us to build the foundation for a solution that’s not only beautiful—but strategic. It’s not just research, it’s relationship-building.

Planning

Once we’ve gathered insights, it’s time to strategize. Our Planning phase maps out the entire project—from timelines to tech needs, user journeys to content structure. We collaborate with you to align creative vision with practical execution, ensuring nothing is left to chance. This is where your vision becomes a blueprint, and we get clear on how to bring it to life—on time and within budget.

Design

Now the magic begins. Our Design phase is where strategy meets creativity. We design stunning, user-centered visuals that align with your brand identity and speak directly to your target audience. From branding to wireframes to high-fidelity mockups, we create experiences that are not only eye-catching, but intuitive and impactful. Every pixel has a purpose.

Development

Our Development phase brings your design to life—functionally and flawlessly. Whether we’re building on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or something custom, our developers work behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly and responsively. We pay attention to the details so your users can enjoy a seamless experience across all devices.

Testing

Before we launch, we test everything—and we mean everything. Our team conducts thorough quality assurance to ensure forms work, pages load, links connect, and the user journey flows exactly as it should. We also assess accessibility and performance so nothing gets in the way of your message. If Great Aunt Linda can navigate it, we know we’ve done our job.

Launch

Time to shine! Once everything’s approved, we handle a smooth, stress-free launch. Whether it’s connecting your domain, optimizing SEO, or scheduling your announcement, we make sure you’re set up for visibility and success. But our partnership doesn’t end here—after launch, we stick around to support, maintain, and cheer you on as your brand grows.

I love what I do, and I'm here to help! If you're struggling to decide, let's chat.
