RemoteHybridOn-SiteAdditional Information
Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m a Graphic Designer with a BFA in Graphic Design from SUNY New Paltz, specializing in branding, UI/UX, and social impact design. I create human-centered work that tells meaningful stories and brings ideas to life. I currently work as a freelance designer, partnering with clients to build thoughtful visual identities and digital experiences. Alongside my creative work, I serve as a Behavior Technician, providing trauma-informed, one-on-one support to children with autism. This experience has strengthened my commitment to mental health, advocacy, and client-centered care. I am preparing to pursue an MSW with the goal of becoming an LCSW therapist. My long-term vision bridges creativity and mental health by integrating design, storytelling, and therapeutic practice to support healing and community wellness. I’m especially interested in projects rooted in wellness, identity, and social impact, and I welcome opportunities to collaborate across creative and mental health spaces.
