About hailey hartigan
an award-winning interdisciplinary designer, multichannel director, and mixed-media artist whose work operates at the intersection of visual language, narrative, and experiential design.
Hailey believes in the power of design to connect, clarify, and create meaningful impact.
Working across physical media and creative technologies, her practice investigates how environments and systems of communication shape emotional and cultural experience. From curated exhibitions and hand crafted artwork to immersive graphics, brand identities, photography, and production, her work is defined not by the “how,” but by the “why.”
Hartigan leads Hailey Hartigan Studios, a creative practice and production space dedicated to narrative-driven work and community-centered exhibitions.
Outside of her work at the Studios, Hartigan serves as a Director at Basilinna, where she leads creative and brand strategy, designing a scalable, story-driven brand system that shapes everything from digital platforms to experiential moments.
Her client work centers on building and developing brand identities, intuitive user experiences, and scalable design systems that evolve alongside the organizations behind them.
