ALL CREATIVE WORK IS AN ACT OF REBELLION.
Mai Tai Noir was born out of the refusal to play small.
Because bold brands deserve bold design — the kind that commands attention and feels like you.
No more watering down. No more blending in.
We're here to build the kind of online presence that makes people feel something.
She didn’t see a space for design that felt this powerful —
so she made one.
I’m Iesha, founder of Mai Tai Noir and designer for brands that live outside the box.
I created this studio for the entrepreneurs who’ve been told to tone it down. The bold ones. The mysterious ones. The ones who walk in luxury, speak in visuals, and aren’t afraid to own their extra.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all design studio — this is a home for the multi-faceted. For founders who deserve more than “just pretty.” I see you. I hear your vision. And I’m here to turn it into something unforgettable.
All you need to do is decide.
Are you ready?

BEHIND
the BRAND
I’m Iesha — founder, designer, and certified creative architect.
Before launching Mai Tai Noir, I didn’t dream of building websites — I just knew I loved making things beautiful, functional, and full of soul.
Design found me later, but storytelling was always the spark.
After accidentally falling into design (hello, four degrees and one coding detour later), I realized something: I might not be able to draw a stick figure — but I can craft a scroll-stopping site like nobody’s business.
Design wasn’t the plan. But bringing bold visions to life? That’s always been the assignment.
So I did what every great editor eventually must — I rewrote the story.
Find the truth no one else is telling. Then build a strategy around it that stops people mid-scroll.
Because I believe modern marketing should feel more like a movement than a funnel. More connection, less cringe.
And I’m here to make sure your brand doesn’t whisper when it was meant to make noise.
For the rebels, the visionaries, and the vibe-led brands who were never meant to blend in.
My dog Trumen Eugene is the great love of my life.
Espresso in the mornings, sweet lemonade in the afternoons.
If I didn't work in marketing, I'd be a fashion designer. I made this jacket, actually.
A bar with a great espresso martini loves to see me coming.
I'm secretly obsessed with classic cars. This is my dream.

The
PROUST
QUESTIONNARE
Still here? Perfect. If we're going to work together, we gotta go a little deeper. Here are my answers to the famously big questions, a la Vanity Fair.
How do you take your martini?
Extra dirty, extra strong, and with the confidence of someone who knows her worth.
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Being “low maintenance.” Your brand is allowed to be extra. You are, too.
Guilty pleasure?
Buying domains I’ll never use. (And rewatching The Big Bang Theory like it’s homework.).
What makes you say yes to a project?
A strong point of view, a bold idea, and someone who says “I want my site to feel expensive."
What belongs in the trash folder?
Templates with no soul and “just okay” as a vibe. I said what I said.
What’s your creative signature?
Scroll-stopping strategy wrapped in bold visuals and unapologetic vibe.
I make your brand feel like your favorite outfit — and your best mic drop.
Current design obsession?
Building something brave enough to help other people be boldLayered serif type, editorial white space, and unexpected moments of drama.
Favorite kind of client?
Visionary, vibe-led, a little rebellious — basically, someone who’s ready.
Go-to creative fuel?
Moody playlists, espresso, and scrolling TikTok like it’s a strategy session.
What's the one thing your site should do?
Make you feel like you — but louder, sharper, and totally unforgettable.
She didn’t just design a site — she built an experience. Strategy, story, vibe — all locked in. This site doesn’t just convert, it commands.”
