About Alyssa Blank : Alyssa grew up in the Greater Philadelphia area, and has lived, studied, and worked in cities all over the country, inclusive of New York, Atlanta, Boston and Tucson. A design hybrid — not beholden to a single medium — her work ranges from print, to packaging and even product design, with executions that often utlize the emotional, visceral, and playful qualities of texture, color, and voice (type or copy). Her design work is built upon a foundation of research, that aims to excavate and define the individual and unique needs of each project or client, before communicating their brand’s purpose in their communities and to the world. Alyssa holds a B.A. in Sociology, from Boston University - with studies that centered on aspects of community, identity and cultural representation. And an advanced degree in Visual Communication / Design from Portfolio Center, in Atlanta. When she’s not designing, you can find her in the Pilates studio, waxing nostalgic about her adventures as a former student-athlete, or looking for the next thing to explore.
STATEMENT OF ART:
Having a background in Sociology, naturally steers my work towards those of the human scale, that provide opportunities for social inquiry, discourse, and communication. While my professional work typically resides in the commercial sector, it has been important to my practice to keep a foot firmly planted in the conceptual and discursive works. There is a symbiotic relationship between the two. The research and developments initiated in the personal work, often inform stronger conceptual threads through the commercial work when it allows for it.
