Alyson Payne

Berkeley, CA, USA
Hello, I'm Alyson.

I'm a transplant from the Midwest, Indiana to be exact, and studied biology in a previous life. I enjoy weaving the technical knowledge I gained from my science background into my design process and outcomes. As I grow as a designer I plan to further my discovery of the links between the mutually fascinating worlds of art and science.

As a newly sprouted designer, my one-year plan is to create mutually beneficial relationships with professionals in the industry through internships. My goal is to be able to inherit the wisdom of my mentors and have the opportunity to make some meaningful contributions to the firm.

The five-year plan involves embarking on projects which bring design thinking into new landscapes while keeping time to evolve my illustration style into a fresh body of work. Stay tuned...
