why creative chi

After over 15 years in cubicles, spending my days designing, art directing, and producing for companies, where sales targets reigned supreme, I decided there was more to life, lots more. I craved creativity, connection, purpose, inspiration and a way to cast my talent out into the world so it might create a positive ripple of change. Creative Chi was born from my mission to creatively brand in an authentic, compassionate and conscious manner, hence our why – sustainable branding. Creative Chi is about empowering purpose-driven businesses through whole-hearted branding strategy, visual identity and marketing so they can feel confident in integrity with their mission. 

why the name

Creative Chi draws inspiration from tai chi practices on the sands of Miami Beach, instilling design principals of flow, simplicity, and authenticity. The “Chi” in our name plays on both the martial art term chi meaning ultimate and Ch’i (Qi), the life force. We strive to bring out your company’s ultimate life force. Your brand has a soul and our passion is to guide you on the voyage of discovery and embodiment.

I’m Sirena Andras, Creative Chi’s Branding Strategist & Creative Guru. I’m a Madrid-born, bicultural world adventurer, yogi, and tai chi instructor who thrives on creativity, compassion, and connection.

Home-based in the sands of Miami Beach for the past 20 years, I’ve designed everything from magazines to handbags. Art Directed and Brand developed for top-notch clients including Bacardi, Norweigan Cruise Line & Miami’s Center for Social Change.

I’m on a mission to make a positive shift globally – empowering one purpose-driven brand at a time. As a certified B-Corporation professional and devotee I believe that corporate culture and responsibility can change the world.

When I’m not in creation mode, you can find me building a community of conscious entrepreneurs, teaching art, practicing yoga, tai-chi, arnis, or even skateboarding for 24hrs straight. Since inspiration typically strikes away from my desk you might run into me on the beach, mountain, or any eco-adventure in the world.
