Creative vision. Strategic thinking. Stories that connect.

Hello, I’m Kabria Cummings, a Chicago-based creative director, designer, and marketing strategist with more than 20 years of experience helping brands turn their ideas into compelling visual stories.

My work spans brand development, editorial design, integrated marketing campaigns, print and digital advertising, social media, and video storytelling. From directing a national magazine to shaping campaigns for higher education and building my own consumer brand, I bring both a designer’s eye and a marketer’s understanding of audience, positioning, and purpose. I guide projects from concept through production, connecting the larger vision with the details that make the work successful.

As founder of Global Attic, a home décor brand, I’ve put my experience into practice across every aspect of a business—from brand identity and art direction to e-commerce, email marketing, advertising, and public relations. I’ve sourced and designed merchandise for clients including interior designers and entertainers. Building the brand has deepened my understanding of what it takes to attract attention, earn trust, and create a distinctive presence in a crowded marketplace. Global Attic merchandise has been sold internationally, featured in ELLE Decor, Architectural Digest, Apartment Therapy, Luxe Interiors + Design and on the sets of Empire and Emperor of Ocean Park. 

Today, I’m expanding my creative practice through AI-assisted imagery and cinematic video storytelling, pairing emerging tools with experienced art direction to create work with character, emotion, and a clear point of view.

I welcome opportunities to partner with organizations that value thoughtful design, fresh ideas, and a collaborative creative leader who can connect strategy with execution.

Beyond work, I enjoy playing guitar and chess, cooking, reading, collecting art, and working out.
