About Ina Oakley : I’m a designer and branding expert helping women in business show up with clarity and authenticity. My work is about timeless design, deep connection, and empowering female entrepreneurs to be seen – beyond trends, beyond noise. I create brands that feel like you – intentional, refined, and full of personality.
STATEMENT OF ART:Design and art feel like two siblings with very different personalities. Art is free, emotional, sometimes wild – it asks questions without needing to give answers. Design, on the other hand, is like a thoughtful host: intentional, clear, and always aiming to make life easier or more beautiful for others.
Both are rooted in creativity – but with different purposes. Design creates for others. Art often creates for itself.
