Hello, I'm Allison, a graphic designer with a passion for design deeply rooted in my Minnesota upbringing. While I've had the privilege of living in various locations, from New Jersey to Chicago, it was in Minnesota where my creative journey truly blossomed.
Throughout this journey, I've enthusiastically seized diverse opportunities to enhance my creativity and evolve as a designer. My adventure began as a Coca-Cola representative intern. This early exposure to the world of brand representation ignited my love for design. Following that transformative experience, I embraced the role of a creative director for Jazba Entertainment, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. In this capacity, I had the opportunity to showcase my skills and make a meaningful impact.
Post-graduation, I embarked on a new chapter with Red Circle Agency, immersing myself in the ever-evolving advertising landscape. I deepened my understanding of how design can propel marketing success. This exposure equipped me with the knowledge of how to captivate audiences across diverse mediums.
My recent experience at an experience marketing agency was pivotal, broadening my skill set and industry insights. I collaborated with renowned brands like Diageo (Crown Royal, Ketel One, and Singleton), SHEIN, Apple, and CapCut, gaining invaluable experience. In this role, I focused on creating exceptional customer experiences, working closely with experiential designers to bring innovative concepts to life. This dynamic environment constantly challenged me to think creatively and deliver impactful results, igniting my passion for design's transformative potential.
As a designer, each piece I create must tell a story, illustrating my voice as a graphic designer. I strive to create work that captivates audiences while inspiring a new way of thinking that sparks meaningful change. My passion and love for design has grown over the years, but I am not done learning.
On days where my nose isn’t buried in my sketchbooks or glued to my laptop, you can find me doing one of the following:
– Trying different taco places around the Twin Cities (some might even call me a connoisseur)
– Watching Disney classics and Pixar movies (on repeat of course)
– playing tennis with friends and family
– Ending the ivory trade, something I dedicated my senior thesis to
– admiring the strong female elephants that run each herd (I know a lot of elephant facts)
– relearning Spanish to reconnect to my Honduran and colombian roots
I'm a designer, but I'm also a child at heart!
