ALLISON PENEV
GRAPHIC DESIGNER
background
I was raised on the beautiful Mendocino Coast and have always been inspired by the gorgeous surrounding nature of northern California. Growing up in a small town, I enjoyed creating art in my spare time, mostly painting, photography and crafting collages out of whatever I could find. After graduation, I left to attend college at the Art Institutes of California at San Francisco. I was awarded second place in a statewide portfolio competition and received a scholarship to attend. I received my B.S. in Graphic Design and currently work as an in-house and freelance designer. I have over 8 years of experience, spanning a variety of print and web projects.
I enjoy finding harmony between color, shape and form in my designs, and using different elements to invoke an idea or brand experience. It makes me happy to be able to create beautiful and memorable content and to be able to share that with my clients.

skills
I enjoy constantly building my skills and knowledge of both the technical aspects of design work (programs, prototyping and layout) the more fun and artistic parts of design. I would say my strengths are in creating large, multi-page documents, print pieces, web/social assets and branding. I have many years of experience as a pre-press operator and can create a variety of create print - ready files.
