About me!

From agency experience to international adventures, my journey as a designer has been shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and creativity.

Let’s talk design, travel, music, and everything in between.

Behind every design is a story, so here’s mine.

My Background

Hi! I’m Ashley, a graphic & interactive designer passionate about bringing ideas to life. I love connecting fun and engaging concepts with strategy to make designs stand out while being effective.

In Quinnipiac University’s accelerated communications program, I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with Bachelor of Art’s in Graphic & Interactive Design with a minor in Computer Information Systems to deepen my UX/UI and web skillset. I am also working toward my Master’s in Interactive Media & Communications.

Over the past few years, I’ve grown through hands-on roles in agency settings, freelance work, and cross-functional team projects, all while building a strong foundation in digital storytelling, design thinking, and user-centered strategy.

Creative Journeys

My creativity thrives when I’m surrounded by new environments , and I find myself inspired by each place in different ways…

South Shore, Massachusetts
Where my creative journey began, collaborating with local small businesses on freelance design & social media projects.

New Haven, Connecticut
At Quinnipiac, I found my creative passions through The Agency. Leading design and social media teams on real client campaigns strengthened my skills in collaboration, and campaign strategy.

Seoul, South Korea
Studying abroad at Korea University gave me a global perspective on design and culture. From Seoul’s café branding to its immersive visual storytelling, I felt the most creatively inspired here.

Now, I’m continuing that journey in NYC while interning with Tarte Cosmetics. Living and working in one of the world’s most dynamic creative hubs has pushed me to grow in so many ways.
