Hi! My name is Alyssa and I am a graphic designer based in Ayden, NC!
My education background consists of the Fine Arts and the applied science of Graphic Design. I began with learning core principles in visual arts to then learning visual communication and advertising through the works of digital media and exploration. I was a top student in my Applied Science graduation class and received an A in every Graphic Design course and received the honors every semester. It is because of this program that I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite. In 2022, I sought out East Carolina University to pursue a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts with my heart set on the Graphic Design concentration. I was accepted into the concentration in the Spring semester of 2023. I am a lover of all things design and have explored advertising, branding, UX/UI, 2D and 3D design.
I am a driven and hardworking individual who strives to achieve my ultimate goal of securing a creative opportunity with my BFA. My passion for design fuels my ambition to work in a professional environment alongside like-minded peers who share similar aspirations. This motivates me to continually push my boundaries as a designer. As a competitive and motivated young professional entering the creative job market, I am eager to distinguish myself and make a lasting impact.
