About Me

I’m Alisha Maynard, an experienced graphic designer with over 12 years of expertise in developing cohesive, flexible design systems that help brands thrive. After receiving a B.A. in Graphic Design from Indiana University, I've had the privilege of collaborating with talented teams and clients across a variety of industries to create multi-channel advertisement campaigns, user-friendly websites, and develop brand identities and collateral.

My passion in many of the positions I've held, has always been creating cohesive foundations for brands to utilize effectively while creating structure and space to push forward and grow. There is something uniquely satisfying about building a system where all the pieces come together and create the opportunity to meet any question with an answer and a suggestion, and that flexibility gives a brand the ability to thrive with staying true to their core identity.

Now, I’m excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to new challenges, where I can use my skills to help brands succeed and grow.
