Delux Designs (DE), LLC Founder
Keara Douglas
Born in North Carolina, yet raised in South Carolina, Keara began her service with just a Macbook, Photoshop Elements and Corel Paint Pro software along with a dream and determination to work for herself. Her art journey began in the first grade as her artwork was often entered into local school competitions, but her design career started off through creating graphic design work for family and friends around her high school and hometown through social media website Myspace. This soon led to the creation of Delux Designs (DE), LLC during December of 2010 of her undergrad years of college. Miss Douglas is now a full-time, self-taught, freelance graphic artist specializing in providing graphic designs for the public, along with custom acrylic paintings, unique wood crafts and trendy ceramics. While designing, Miss Douglas picked up on her skills of marketing and soon became a certified Digital Marketing with an emphasis in Affiliate Marketing during the year of 2020. In 2021, Keara added another accomplishment to her belt when she self-published as an author and illustrator her first coloring book series.
