Hello :) I'm Allyson
A perceptive, friendly, and expressive designer who takes a deeply analytical approach, striving to create the best designs possible with a quirky twist to make them stand out from the rest. Currently volunteering on the board of the Kansas City chapter of AIGA striving to make the community a more accessible and inclusive space with the Education committee. My free time is spent listening to music, watching a movie from 2010 that no one cares about, and looking for the next thing to be inspired by. I work hard and get the job done with fun anecdotes along the way, always looking to support others in anyway I can, especially through the power of design.
Always looking to connect with others. Ka-chow.
