About Iyobu

|Hey there!

I’m Mildred at iyobu, bringing more than design to the table. My unique approach, encapsulated in the motto “it’s your business. brand it. market it. grow it. with iyobu” is the core of how I help businesses like yours thrive. I specialize in creating captivating print and digital creative that is comprehensive and meticulously customized to drive awareness and engagement around your brand. This level of detail ensures that your brand is represented in the most effective and unique way.

No project is too big or small—I aim always to craft solutions that boost your success. I focus on what converts: think word-of-mouth, when people advocate your brand to others because they genuinely love it. It’s about creating a strong personal connection that people can’t imagine their lives without your brand. It all starts with developing unique, consistent creative and messaging that amplifies your brand awareness and recognition. Your success is my priority, and I'm here to make sure you feel valued and important in every step of our journey.

A bit about me: I kick-started my journey as a designer, but my passion for sharing design knowledge steered me into leadership roles. With over twenty years under my belt, I’ve led creative and technical teams at the corporate level and even started my own creative and marketing agency in NYC. Though 9/11 threw us for a loop, I found my way back to sunny San Diego.

From there, I had an exciting run with Sony Electronics, where I led a digital marketing team, and LPL Financial, where I headed an in-house branding and creative agency. Then, I hit pause to relish the joys of raising two amazing kids; I’ve landed in a sweet spot that aligns perfectly with my family’s needs.

These days, I’m thrilled to offer my creative expertise to entrepreneurs and corporate folks as a freelancer. This transition from corporate roles to freelancing has been rewarding, and I couldn’t be happier. Tailored to meet your needs—whether you’re a corporate marketing team or an entrepreneur looking for a professional yet budget-friendly solution—my services are designed to fit like a glove.

I’m thrilled about the possibility of creating something unique together with you. Let’s get started and bring your brand to life. I'm eagerly anticipating our collaboration and the exciting journey we're about to embark on.
