Hi,
I’m Alison
I’m a Brand Designer and currently the Art Director at C42D where I get to bring brand strategies to life through creative, engaging visuals. I’m all about collaboration—whether with strategists, designers, or digital teams—to make sure a brand’s message comes across clearly. I have a strong eye for detail and love diving into each project with a fresh perspective to solve challenges that come my way. I believe in continuous learning, clear and kind communication, managing my time well, and staying adaptable—qualities that help me support my clients and teammates alike. When I’m not working with health, tech, and financial startups, I’m designing for small businesses and individuals, all while indulging my love for Bravo and dessert.
