Ashley Fouyolle

Art Director

New York, NY, USA
My name is Ashley L. Fouyolle, a young + vibrant Art Director with both graphic and web design experience. Graduating from Baruch College in 2013, I have quickly worked my way to become a true asset to the many companies I’ve worked with.

From agency to corporate experience, I am able to translate complex concepts into compelling visuals. I use my creative craft, understanding of platforms and grasp of culture to solve marketing problems for a variety of brands. I understand the difference between a creative idea & a tactical execution and (based on the nature of the project) I’m proficient at generating both.

I am capable and responsible for art directing in all mediums. I work to stay current with technology and trends, as well as seek opportunities to improve my art/design skills.

As an art director, I understand the parameters of a brand’s look/feel/tone and my work reflects that.
