hey there!

I’m Alyssa, a graphic designer with a passion for thoughtful, detail-driven design. I enjoy creating work that blends creativity with strategy—whether it’s building websites, experimenting with typography, or bringing characters to life through animation. I’m especially drawn to projects that tell a story and connect with people in meaningful ways.

When I’m not designing, I’m probably curating playlists, spending time with my goldendoodle, Lola, or enjoying the next bingeable series.
