Hello there!
I’m Gaby Pasman, a Deaf visual artist and graphic designer based in Oak Park, near Chicago. I work across design, illustration, painting, and visual storytelling.My family’s American dream began in 1988, when they left Riga under the Soviet Union. I was born in Italy while waiting for a visa, and a month later, we arrived in Chicago. Watching my family start over taught me resilience and how to build with heart.
I see the world visually first, noticing detail, movement, expression, and the quiet ways people communicate. With an MFA in Graphic Design from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and decades of experience, I turn ideas into meaningful work. Design is my natural language, a way to create connection and expression.
Through Gaby Pasman Studio, I help clients tell their stories through visual solutions, specializing in brand identities, web design, custom paintings, and illustrations.
Explore my work, and let’s create something special together.
