Deandra Stokes

This season has been about growth and alignment. 🍂 Since deciding to freelance full-time a few months ago, I’ve been designing brands, building websites, photographing different events, networking and directing shoots with other dope creatives! So basically, having my hand in a bit of everything, but I’m loving it. 😊 I’m still learning how to balance it all, but for the most part, I’m enjoying the ride. Alsooooo, I just recently became an ambassador for one of my favorite brands! Not sure when I can share deets about that, but hopefully soon 🥹🩷 Just beyond grateful and blessed.

Last week I had to say goodbye to my 9–5 but hello to being a full-time design business owner 🥂✨ The job market is insane right now so I’ve honestly been thinking about this for a while anyway. I’m excited (and of course a little nervous), but ready for this leap! As a one-woman show, here’s what I’ve got for you right now: ✍🏽 Logos & Branding – refresh or reintroduce your business with visuals that actually feel like you 💻 Website Design – modern, clean sites 📸 Photography – brand & upscale events (weddings, graduations, or any special moments) 📱 Social Media Marketing Consultations – strategies that actually connect with your audience And this is just the beginning! More services will be rolling out over the next few months as I grow and expand 🤍 Ready to leave the templates behind and finally build a brand that’s not like everyone else’s? I’m ready when you are → 🔗 in b!o: https://zaap.bio/hellodstokes Also thank you for all the support I’ve been receiving over the last couple months! I grateful appreciate you 🙏🏽❤️

There’s nothing wrong with being a social media marketing girl, I just want to be known for more (and I will be) 🫶🏽. #artdirector #designer

Revenge is a dish best served cold 🥢 Should I drop the food review? 🍜 #killbillrestaurant #kyoto #japan #killbill

Add these spots to your itinerary if you thinking about ever visiting Japan ❤️🇯🇵👇🏽 1. 📍Sensō-ji | The architecture is amazing! Very sacred spot for the locals. 2. 📍Tokyo Disneyland and/or Disney Sea | I personally liked the Disneyland in Florida better (haven’t been to the one in LA yet) but it was still fun! ✨ 3. 📍Recommend staying at the Keisei Richmond Hotel right next to the Skytree Tower. Perfect view of the Skytree and city from their 13th floor ❤️ 4. 📍Fushimi Inari Taisha | Bamboo Forest 🏯🎋 (last post has more details on it ✨) 5. 📍Gonpachi Nishi-Azabu | The restaurant where the kill bill movie was filmed! Super dope atmosphere and the food was pretty good. You gotta try the Chicken Wings Skewer and the premium wagu steak skewer or dish! 😩❤️ The chicken wing skewers were so good, we ordered 3 more! 😂 📍 Don Quijote | This place got EVERYTHING! 😭 Copped some skincare that’s pretty affordable and lots of other things! ✨ ______________________________________________ Have you ever visited any of these places? Which spot (or fit✨) was your fav? 🫶🏽 #Japan #explore #photography

To the 12 people who always liking my posts, what snacks yall want from 7/11? ❤️🇯🇵 #tokyo #japan #travelphotography

Hiked through the bamboo forest at Fushimi Inari Taisha and it was so beautiful and peaceful. The main entrance was extremely packed like usual but when you go off trail, you’ll discover the forest. 😍🎋 Side note: I may have wore the wrong shoes, but it was worth the walk 😭. Took as many photos as I could while also respecting that some areas and temples were very private and too intimate to be shared. The locals deserve their privacy ❤️

It ain’t perfect, but everything’s beautiful here 💛

Japan through my lens 😍📸
