Creative-leaning professional drawing largely from my architectural education and vast branding and graphics background; offers mash-up of art direction, branding and identity work, copywriting, graphic and environmental design, UX/UI, product design/visual design.
Innovative and results-driven with extensive experience delivering exceptional designs for wide-ranging print and media projects, brands and environments. Self-professed "designsmith" using a multi-disciplinary, multi-instramental approach with strong project management abilities, effective communication skills and outstanding work ethic.

"Alyssa Shapkoff is a Chicago-based Senior Art Director, designer and wordsmith hailing from rural Illinois. She spends a good portion of her day drinking bottomless coffee, reading, writing and making beautiful things. Alyssa studied architecture, found her way into advertising, and enjoys most everything design-related. She refuses to 'make it pop.'"
