ASHLEY DAY

​​
My name is Ashley! I'm a full time Graphic Designer and a part-time artist/business owner. My graphic style is simplistic, clean, with a pop of color! In my free time I enjoy drawing, and creating new items to add to my Etsy shop. I also enjoy exercising: I love weight-lifting, swimming, and playing ultimate frisbee. I'm always pushing myself in my design, and I hope to improving and furthering my growth! I have my Associates in Visual Communications, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelors degree in Digital Design.
