Available to hire
Hi, I’m Alexis Brown, a Creative Director and Graphic Designer with a passion for branding, packaging, and storytelling through visuals. I lead brand design across identities, packaging, websites, and marketing collateral, partnering with clients to translate their goals into cohesive visual systems.
With over a decade of experience using Adobe Creative Suite, I’ve collaborated with product teams and retailers to develop concepts, prototypes, and print-ready assets for production overseas. I enjoy turning complex briefs into clear, impactful designs and guiding brands from concept to market.
