Hey, I’m Ashley

For more than a decade, I’ve been helping brands tell their stories. Whether that’s through experiential design for the Fortune 500, print and editorial for unique small businesses, shaping in-house design teams, or all of the above. My work is rooted in human empathy, supported by a vast knowledge of design techniques, and brought to life with the latest technology and maybe a little old school spirit.

So what’s your story?

Experience Design

Trade shows, outdoor signage, way-finding — I create accessible spaces that stand out.

Design Aside

 

My approach to design is, of course, about aesthetics, but more importantly their history and impact. You’ll also find social and cultural influences that are personally significant at the forefront of my work. When it comes to building teams, coaching designers, or bringing external vendors into the fold, my efforts are rooted in the human experience and the desire to create collaborative work that we can all be proud of. This extends to the importance I place on allyship and inclusion, continuously educating myself to be a better partner and to learn from other’s stories.

Editorial Influence

Publishing, layout and composition are my bread and butter. Need a new way to display your content? Have beautiful photography you want to highlight? Let’s get started on your RFP or corporate presentation.

Branding and Systems

Whether creating branding for a new company or extending the existing design systems, I’d love to help take your brand to the next level of recognition and marketing consistency.

I’ve been illustrating since childhood, but vector graphics are where I shine.

Let’s be honest, there’s a lot of work you don’t see here, but not because my clients and I aren’t proud of it.
