# Keya Kadakia > Visual Designer • Brand Marketing • Creating meaningful user connections • Prev. @ Love Sweat Fitness Location: San Jose, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/keya I’m someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with people. I like understanding what grabs attention, what builds trust, and how brands can show up in a way that feels real rather than overproduced or forced. I’ve built and shipped brand design work for AI-powered platforms like YourLifeWithAI, establishing interaction patterns and experiences that feel human and trustworthy. In parallel, I’ve worked on influencer-led visual design at Love Sweat Fitness, shaping visual direction and brand expression for a highly engaged creator audience across social platforms. That experience sharpened my instincts for visual hooks, pacing, platform-native design, and what actually earns attention in crowded feeds. I’m energized by fast-moving environments where I can own design end to end. I care about storytelling, brand voice, and community, and I’m always looking for ways to evolve the brand based on what people are interacting with, sharing, and talking about. ## Work Experience ### Graphic Designer Intern @ Love Sweat Fitness Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 Created high-performing marketing collateral such as email newsletters, social media posts, and e-books using Adobe Creative Suite, increasing click-through rates by 25% across a subscriber base of 800,000+.
