About Me
Hello, I'm Allie! I am a graphic designer from South Carolina with a passion for bringing ideas to life through creativity and storytelling. Graphic design has allowed me to expand my imagination and push the boundaries of visual communication. Each project I take on is an opportunity to craft a unique visual story, one detail at a time.
My Story
My name is Allie Doughty, and I am currently on track to graduate with an Associate's Degree in Graphic Design in March 2026. Throughout my studies at Bryan University, I have gained a strong foundation in design principles, digital tools, and creative problem-solving. In addition to my coursework, I serve as a tutor for the Graphic Design program, where I have the opportunity to mentor and support fellow students as they develop their skills and confidence.
​
I have always been drawn to the creative process, which involves taking someone's idea, understanding their vision, and translating it into a visually impactful design that resonates with its intended audience. Whether it's branding, layout, illustration, or digital media, I approach each project with a balance of technical precision and artistic expression. For me, design is more than just making something look appealing; it's about creating work that communicates clearly, inspires curiosity, and leaves a lasting impression. This passion has been the driving force behind my studies, projects, and professional growth.
​
Outside of my academic and creative work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, drawing inspiration from nature, and making memories with friends and family. The experiences fuel my creativity and help me bring fresh perspectives to my designs.
