Hi!  I’m Annmarie, a graphic designer from the NYC/NJ metro area, and the artist behind AL STUDIO Graphic Design.

Graphic design – and art in its broadest sense – has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.  From creating worksheets and home-school communications for my students, to designing historical and devotional displays for church functions, to contributing artwork and zine spreads in my various internet hobby circles, design has played a role at every juncture.  And if there’s one thing I know about graphic design, it’s that the learning never stops – there’s always a fresh opportunity to acquire new skills, develop new perspectives, and embrace new challenges.  A never-ending, ever-evolving journey of artistic joy, growth, and discovery.

I’m beyond thrilled to launch this artistic venture, and I look forward to working with you to bring your creative visions to life!
