Hi, I’m Ashley

In a nutshell.
Hey there, I'm Ashley Porter! I am a design-oriented thinker living in the small city of Redding, CA. I studied Communication Design at Chico State University and am an Army veteran. I am passionate about design and have loved drawing since I was a kid, especially drawing my surroundings and painting watercolor designs. While I love to illustrate in my free time, I also relish in the calming influence of an organized space, which is why I'm drawn to simple design as a creative strategy.
I believe in the power of art as a driving factor for human change and how great design can affect change. As a working mom, I strive to ensure a better world for my daughter and advocate for sustainable design practices that will leave her in a world that works with nature and not against it.
Keeping up with new technology within the design community is one of my favorite pastimes. When I’m not reading and learning about the latest AI integrations, I’m invested in my local art community. I am currently a member of the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) in San Francisco as well as the Shasta Arts Council and The Art Hunger art gallery where I actively participate in art shows and events.
