Hi, I’m Missy Allard, a video producer, editor and motion graphics artist focused on turning all kinds of content into engaging visual stories. I enjoy clarifying complex ideas, shaping narratives across formats and platforms, and I love building dynamic motion graphics, infographics, and animations that clarify ideas and captivate audiences. Based in Massachusetts, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience from pre-production through post-production, collaborating with producers, editors, and clients to deliver high-impact results. My toolkit includes Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop, and I’ve worn many on-set hats—from producer and DP to grip and sound—as part of a collaborative, fast-paced workflow. With a Masters in Digital Media Design that also covered web, graphic and instructional design as well as computer programming and animation, I can bring your brand or project a full range of visual storytelling expertise.
