Who I Am
I’m Somazia — designer, creative strategist, and expert at turning “I have this idea…” into visuals that actually speak. I started Clay & Crown because I’m passionate about the creative process — the brainstorming, the sketching, those satisfying “aha!” moments — and because I realized betting on my own creativity was the best move I could make. Now, I work with businesses, churches, and organizations who want more than just a logo or a pretty post — they want a brand that feels real and truly connects.
My superpower? Reading between the lines, picking up on what you really want (even if you don’t quite know how to say it), and turning it into designs that make you say, “That’s exactly it.” I’m all about creative partnerships built on honest feedback, a bit of sarcasm, and a whole lot of collaboration. Whether you come with a fully formed vision or just a rough idea, I’ll help you bring it to life — and we’ll probably have some fun along the way.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me hanging with my husband and three kids, belting out songs like I’m headed for a Grammy, pretending I’m about to work out (spoiler: probably not happening), or FaceTiming my mom, talking about everything and nothing for way too long. I’m a porch-sitting, fall-loving, audiobook-binging kind of person who believes building a brand should feel like coming home. If you want creativity with heart — and a designer who’s going to keep it real — you’re in the right place.
At Clay & Crown, we believe every brand should feel like home — authentic, intentional, and a true reflection of the people behind it. The name says it all: the “clay” stands for creativity, flexibility, and craftsmanship, while the “crown” represents confidence, identity, and owning your space. I started this business with a simple goal — to help others bring their vision to life through design that speaks before they ever say a word. Whether I’m working with businesses, churches, or organizations, I blend heart with strategy to create visuals that make people feel seen and stories that actually connect. Around here, it’s not about chasing trends — it’s about creating lasting impressions and building real partnerships.
My Approach
I believe good design starts with listening — not just to what you say, but to what you mean. My job isn’t to push a style or trend on you; it’s to help you bring your vision to life in a way that feels authentic and true to who you are. Whether you come with a full mood board or a random idea scribbled on a napkin, I’m here to translate your thoughts into visuals that actually connect.
I’m big on creative partnerships built on honesty, collaboration, and maybe a little sarcasm for good measure. I’ll ask questions, give real feedback, and keep the process fun (because let’s be honest — no one needs another awkward client experience). Around here, you won’t find cookie-cutter designs or one-size-fits-all packages. Just intentional work that makes you feel seen and sets your brand apart.
