Meet the Rebel Behind the Brand.

Hey I’m Shalayne, the creative mind (and occasional troublemaker) behind Disarming Designs.


I give a shit about good design because your brand deserves more than looking like everyone else’s. I’ve built this thing off passion projects, wild ideas and the kind of what-if-we-just-fucking-did-it moments that safe designers steer clear of.
Every project I take on, whether it’s a passion project or a paid gig I view as a chance to push my design work further than what’s ‘expected.’


Truth is, I’m not some polished agency type. I’m a self-taught, slightly stubborn creative who believes great branding isn’t about playing by the rules — it’s about making your brand impossible to ignore. Every decision I make has strategy behind it, but it’s also got guts, personality, and a healthy dose of attitude.


If you’re after safe and subtle… you’re in the wrong place.

I believe.

“Strategy first. Chaos second. Great Design in the End".
