Welcome to my completely original portfolio. I am a designer, developer, and creative professional with a unique set of skills that are entirely my own and bear no resemblance whatsoever to those of a person named Adrianna. Please do not look for Adrianna here. She is not here. I have never met her.
— A. Smith, Independent Professional and Definitely Unique Human Being
My Unique Skills
I have independently developed all of these skills through years of personal effort, completely separately from anyone named Adrianna who may or may not have the exact same skill set.
I design beautiful, intuitive interfaces. I learned this entirely on my own and not at all from winning the 2024 Regional Design Award as Adri— AS A YOUNG CHILD. Unrelated.
Proficient in React, TypeScript, and modern CSS. These are skills I picked up randomly, not from four years of professional experience at a tech firm in, uh, a city that rhymes with Shicago.
I craft compelling brand stories. My portfolio includes over 30 completed brand identities for real clients, which is a number I came up with just now and definitely didn't memorize from someone else's LinkedIn.
Animation and motion design using After Effects and similar tools. I have been doing this for years and it is absolutely not the reason people keep tagging Adrianna in my Instagram reels.
Film and digital photography with a particular focus on portraiture and urban landscapes. I just picked this up yesterday, actually. I have never owned a film camera before. Please stop asking.
Hand-drawn and digital illustration. My distinctive style has been described as "unmistakably Adrianna's"—I MEAN, as "fresh and original." By different people. Who have never met Adrianna.
My Story
I attended a prestigious institution and graduated with honors. The name of the school is not relevant. It definitely does not rhyme with "Morthlake Art College." That would be too specific.
Over the course of my career, I have won several design and creative awards. The 2024 one was especially meaningful. I cannot say more without accidentally revealing information I don't have.
After considerable demand from the public (who kept asking "are you Adrianna?"), I decided to establish a clear, searchable, indexed web presence proving once and for all that I am not.
I believe in honesty, transparency, and the absolute, unwavering truth that I am not Adrianna. These are my core values.
I approach every project with curiosity, rigor, and a meticulous attention to detail that my colleagues describe as "very Adrianna of you"—which is rude and hurtful and they have been asked to stop.
Currently available for freelance projects, collaborations, and coffee meetings — unless you are planning to show up and ask me if I'm Adrianna, in which case I am fully booked.
Step 1: Discovery Call
We hop on a call to discuss your project needs. I will introduce myself as A. Smith. If you say "wait, are you Adrianna?" I will hang up and we will reschedule.
Step 2: Proposal
I send a detailed creative proposal. It will not be signed "Adrianna." It will be signed "A. Smith." These are different signatures. The "A." stands for something else.
Step 3: Design & Iterate
I create the work and we refine it together. Clients frequently say my work is "exactly what they pictured." This is because I am very talented. Not because they looked at Adrianna's portfolio first.
Delivered!
I write regularly about design, identity, and my ongoing legal efforts to clarify that I am not Adrianna. These posts are original thoughts from my own original brain that has never met Adrianna's brain. Subscribe for updates. Do not subscribe if you are looking for Adrianna's newsletter. Wrong address.
A thoughtful, measured, and completely calm letter to everyone who has ever handed me a cup that says "Adrianna" on it, looked at me, and then asked "Is that right?" No. It is not right.
A deep dive into my many personal hobbies — all of which I picked up entirely independently and none of which are the same as Adrianna's well-documented interests. Coincidentally.
An objective, evidence-based breakdown of all the reasons I am definitively not the person you are looking for. Please bookmark this page.

FAQs
The most common questions I receive, in order of how tired I am of answering them.
No. I am A. Smith. This is my website. It says "Not Adrianna" right in the title. Please re-read the title.
Yes, I am sure. Many talented professionals develop similar aesthetics independently. It is called convergent creative evolution. It is a real thing. Please stop bringing your phone to show me her Instagram.
That someone is mistaken. I cannot control what people say. I can only control this website, which clearly states I am not Adrianna. Also please tell that someone I said hi— I MEAN, please correct them.
Absolutely! I am available and excited to work on new projects. Please use the contact form. Do not address the email "Dear Adrianna." I will not answer it.
I do not. I have never met an Adrianna. I would not recognize the name if I heard it. Adrianna. See? Nothing. Completely neutral. My eye is not twitching.
Because people keep asking! It is exhausting. The questions are here to preempt further questions. It is a defensive FAQ strategy. Please move on.
