Summer Kais Photography + Design in downtown San Diego has operated a combined photography and graphic design studio since 2003, with a BA in Studio Art from UC Irvine providing the foundation for a two-decade practice covering portraits, headshots, and brand identity work. The dual-service model pairs on-location and studio portrait sessions with graphic design deliverables including brand collateral, social media assets, and print layouts, a creative pairing that parallels the integrated design output of Gigi Schroeder Graphic Designer in the same downtown market. A three-year stint in New York City between 2010 and 2013 expanded the portfolio before Kais returned to the downtown San Diego studio near the Convention Center on K Street. Client work spans corporate headshots, graduation portraits, family sessions, and commercial product photography, with finished print materials produced through local resources including Printing Solutions San Diego. The most involved projects are full brand-identity packages combining a styled portrait session with logo design, color-palette development, and a suite of digital and print assets delivered as production-ready files.
