My Story
Hi hi, I’m Allison.
AHHA ~ [ Allison Hamel - Handmade Artwork ]
Here is some info about me to get to know me better!
I am a graphic designer and marketing storyteller currently residing in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota.
I graduated from Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2009, with a BFA in Graphic Design with an area of focus in Photography.
If 2020 has taught me anything, the only constant in life is change. I decided to start my journey to a new life path after COVID-19 caused my nine-year career in the corporate world to end. While trying to plan out my future and participating in a local virtual auction in support of NAMI, I found myself discovering a marketing company called BRIO.
I took a leap of faith and reached out to the founders of the company to see if they needed any help, being newly laid off, I had a lot of extra time on my hands and I really wanted to CREATE again. To be honest with you, I was nervous to simply press send, but I took a deep breath and did it!
It gets a bit fairytale-like at this point.
I most recently was a part-time Design Specialist with BRIO. I adored the team that I worked with and I feel lucky to have created alongside such lovely and innovative humans. Check out the client work I have done with Brio and others here!
