Alyssa Strong

Freelance Graphic Designer

Carrollton, TX, USA
I am creative, talented, and love to work on the computer. I not only want to use my talents to further my career in graphic design and motion graphics, but I want to use them to help others. My work incorporates both reality and imagination and I hope to continue making people smile through my art and compassion. I plan to continue developing myself as an artist by continuing to learn new things, constantly practice and create, and never lose sight of who I am and what makes my work unique.
