Hi, I'm Alyssa Wanders, a Brooklyn-based graphic designer and production designer. I'm a versatile designer with 4+ years of experience in both freelance and in-house roles, blending creative visuals with deliberate, goal-oriented design. Originally an illustrator, I have a strong eye for color, composition, and a keen sense of what reads well visually, and I take pride in bringing ideas to life from concept to final execution—on screen and in print. I have collaborated with entertainment brands like Nickelodeon, Disney, Marvel, and many others, and I thrive on delivering cohesive design systems and polished artwork under tight deadlines. I love working across design disciplines, from concept through production, and I’m excited to contribute my energy and craft to new creative challenges.
