Hello! :)

My name is Allison, and I am a graphic designer and illustrator from the Coastal Bend of Texas. I graduated from Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi with a BA in Graphic Design in December of 2020. I enjoy drawing and learning new artistic skills in my free time, and as you could probably tell by my personal artwork in my work page, I enjoy my fair bit of anime/video games. I have also gotten into running my own Etsy shop as of late, selling enamel pins, art prints, stickers, and acrylic keychains! Overall, I feel as though I am never not busy creating or thinking of being creative. :)From a young age, I was never without a pen in my left hand, and sheet of paper under my right. I've been drawing and creating stories visually for as long as I could remember, so in a way, it was only natural for me to work in a creative field. To my surprise, creating for myself was not the only thing that felt rewarding, but creating for others, and seeing how stoked they are about something I made for them feels even more fulfilling at times.The past 5 years of my professional career have consisted of freelance illustration and design work for the first two, then design agency experience for the last three, in which I learned how to be a more skillful, efficient, and overall more well-rounded designer by working on a team and collaborating with clients I may have never had the opportunity and pleasure of working with under previous circumstances. That being said, I'm ready to spread my creative wings and take what I learned as a graphic design lead in agency, and bring my talents more directly to even more new and exciting clients as a full-time freelance graphic designer and illustrator!If you would like to ask me a question, please do not hesitate to email me or drop a question in the form below. Thank you for reading my lil blurb, I really do look forward to hearing from you about your projects and dreams. :)- Allie

Crust Pizza Co.

Social Media Campaign, Merchandise, Illustration Work

For this campaign, I was given a real world client and client brief to help achieve the client’s goals for a proposed brand awareness advertising campaign. The client in question was Crust Pizza Co. Cinco Ranch location in Katy, TX. The client wanted designs that complemented their existing brand, but also to set themselves apart from other popular pizza chains in the area by being the coolest place to have a meal. So to rectify this, I created trendy illustrations that were in line with their industrial aesthetic, but kept the graphics and messaging quite casual and inviting as to draw in potential customers.

Celusure

Social Media Campaign

Celusure is a mock insurance brand I created as a quick turnaround test to gauge my skills before working at Passionista Collective as their lead graphic designer. The task was to create an insurance brand and present different advertising deliverables for it with an extremely limited brief. In this test, I had to do market research and create a target audience for this brand. My target audience I chose was people who could not find time to get insurance done in person, thus Celusure, the all-in-one insurance app was born.

nuRx App

Getting a birth control prescription can be a bit of a hassle if you’re a working woman, or a woman without insurance. For most women in America, you have to miss work to go through the process of going to an appointment with a gynaecologist then find time to get your prescription filled and wait even more time to actually have the prescription filled. To top it off, you have pay outrageous premiums to get just a 3 week pack of hormonal pills if you don’t have insurance or birth control isn’t covered by your insurance. nuRx is here to make this process more convenient to the everyday woman on the go.

Cranked Caribou

Packaging Design, Illustration Work

Cranked Caribou is an alcoholic beverage brand centered on giving your cocoa a nice, cranked up kick. This is not your dad’s whiskey. For this project, the parameters were to design labels for two existing die-lines, a milk carton and soup can label, but any food item could live in those two die-lines. The task was to propose a brand devised of these two products and make packaging that would clearly appeal to its target consumer.
