The Person Behind the Pixels
Hey there, I’m Tiffany
I’m the curious mind behind Clever Toolbox, a Seattle-based design studio where creativity meets strategy. With over 20 years of experience as a graphic designer, illustrator, and problem solver, I create bold, personality-packed visuals that help brands tell their stories with style. From branding and print to digital and illustration, my work blends thoughtful strategy with compelling storytelling—because great design should solve problems, not just look good.
A Global Eye for Design
Born in Australia, raised in Canada, and now based in the Pacific Northwest—with roots that also reach to New Zealand—I bring a globally influenced perspective to every project. My background in production and digital marketing, paired with a love for clever design and a curiosity-fueled process, allows me to draw inspiration from both bustling city streets and quiet moments in nature, always with a hands-on, thoughtful approach.

I hired Tiffany Chappell Withington to make our production program. As we sat through the design process Tiffany shared many different options which she thought was what I was looking for. Each option was perfect. Her keen eye caught the slightest error and fixed problems quickly. Her attitude was patient and understanding throughout our meeting.

Tiffany transformed our website! I never thought our website could like like it does now. She paid attention to our needs and request, while suggesting her own ideas.
Tiffany is great at what she does and she is great to work with.
