About My name is Alyssa, and I like to call myself a serial creative project starter because I enjoy discovering new ways to utilize my media and writing skills in an ongoing list of side projects. I am a Thai/Lao American artist from Santa Barbara, California who would like to take my creative skills to the next level as a freelance graphic designer and photographer, as opposed to doing this as just another hobby. Inspired by my love for art and writing, I’ve discovered that my true passion is visual storytelling. That’s why I love sharing photos and random creative updates, I enjoy making video diaries and podcasting as a way to help me find my voice, and I am passionate about using my media and writing skills to build community through Overachiever Magazine. I’ve developed my multimedia skills in a number of creative side projects over the years, but it has been a personal struggle for me to keep my creative life separate from my professional life because I’d like to make a fair living from my creative skills rather than continuing to maintain this double life. I’d like to share my creative skills with others in my community in hopes of building my design portfolio and meaningful relationships with those who are supportive of my goal. In the future, I would love write books and become a full-time freelance photographer, graphic designer, or creative consultant, but for now I am in search for collaborations and creative projects through referrals (as in I must know you in real life or you must know someone I trust). I want to share this creative journey on my blog and portfolio, and when I am ready, I will be open to work with new clients. My approach to photography and design is to get to the heart of the concept. Understanding the story behind who you are or the message you’d like to get across in the project will guide the decisions I make in my creative process to create a design that’s sabai for you. My portfolio includes a handful of samples, but is not limited to all that I am capable of. (For friends and referrals only) please use the contact form or message me on Instagram to pitch a project. A fair exchange sheet will be made available soon, but for now let's start a conversation about what photos or graphics I can help create for you. For Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties only. Other destinations will be considered. |
