Hi, I'm Ali.
A little about me.
My name is Ali Breckenridge, and I love to design. I'm a graphic designer, scenic designer, illustrator, theatre artist, and cat enthusiast rolled into one. I am thoughtful, detailed, organized, and ready to take on any project with a positive attitude and creativity. I have traveled and worked all over the United States and currently reside in Kansas City where I work as a freelance designer.
MY WORK STYLE
I love every step of the process, from crafting a new idea to seeing a project out the door. I thrive when brainstorming, working through logistics of a first draft, and polishing every last detail until it's perfect. In a world where the artistic process can be chaotic, I work to find organization and structure in my projects. I make sure my art is well-researched, and not only purposeful, but is of the highest quality.
MY FAVORITE THINGS
-
Being able to add "FINAL" to a project file before sending it to my client
-
Getting to experience art in any form (but musical theatre will always be #1)
-
Finding the perfect piece of inspiration
-
Traveling to visit a new city, or anywhere with water
-
Spending time video/board-gaming with my husband and our cats, Caboose and Mission
-
Listening to Judah & The Lion, Lady Gaga, or Walk the Moon
