I have just graduated from the University of Delaware with a BFA in Visual Communications. The past four years have been spent learning and experimenting with various fine art techniques, including screen-printing, letterpress, printmaking and photography. During my junior and senior year I focused on graphic design and layout and have become well versed in Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. I enjoy working on a team and collaborating with others. This past year I have had two internships. Over the winter I worked as a graphic design intern for UJMN Architects and Designers helping them with their website redesign as well as creating various advertisements. This past spring I was a Visual Intern at Anthropologie helping with display planning, construction and installation. I am an artistic individual who is inspired by nature, art, literature and people who works well both individually and as part of a team to produce innovative design. Samples of my work can be found on my website http://allisonhess.com/.
