Our Founder Chynna
As a queer, Latinx femme, Chynna Monforte (she/they) understands and resonates with the values of underrepresented communities. And as a Virgo stellium, Chynna has the organization, focus and sensibilities to lead. So it may seem like a no-brainer that she founded a business rooted in radical advocacy.
But Monforte Studio’s birth story wasn’t that linear.
It started with a young Chynna coding Neopet guilds, building MySpace pages, and going in on Microsoft Paint…your girl was always an artist. Chynna tried the traditional track–school, corporate, she even contemplated being a pharmacist. But she decided to create her own destiny and follow her creative dreams.
It wasn’t until she got to work with nonprofits that she realized there was a space for her to explore her art and advocate for underrepresented communities. After a few years of community work within the nonprofit space, facilitating art workshops, and working for renowned museums, galleries, and artists–Chynna decided to ditch her 9-5 to start designing websites.
Today, Chynna is a revolutionary in the design space. Working with badass entrepreneurs across multiple categories, Chynna helps bring dreams and legacies to life through her design. Her relentless commitment to change is what fuels Monforte Studio’s mission. Her passion for education is what drives the studio’s growth and ambition. And her gentle, empathetic nature is what makes collaborating with Monforte Studio an experience unlike any other.
