In her youth and well into college and postgraduate school, Ashley was recognized for her skills and natural intuition of visual purpose in design and creativity in the fine arts. She focused on technical drawing and realism earlier in life and experimented with abstraction, books and typography in postgraduate school.

Ashley worked part time while she undertook the rigorous graduate program as an MFA candidate in Printmaking at UNL.

After a year of constant running between grad school life and as a working professional, Ashley took a moment to seriously evaluate her interests, personal expectations and career goals.
