Hello there! I’m Gaby Pasman, a multifaceted Deaf visual artist and graphic designer based in Chicago. 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 without words. With a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and decades of experience, I transform ideas into meaningful work that communicates with understanding and emotion. Design is my natural language, a way to create clarity and expression.
Through my work at Gaby Pasman Studio, I help clients tell their stories through unique visual solutions. I specialize in brand identities, websites, custom paintings, and illustrations, creating work that not only looks great but leaves a lasting impression.
Over the years, I have collaborated on a wide variety of projects, including marketing materials, illustrations, website redesigns, branding, animations, and custom graphics for organizations such as Stewart + Company, All Together Studio, Greenheart International, Arts of Life, and many more. I am skilled in Adobe Creative Suite, user experience design, and traditional art techniques including oil painting, watercolor, and illustration.
Let’s work together to create something special. Take a look at my portfolio and feel free to reach out!
