HEY, i’m ASHLEY—your NEW favorite designer!

I’m Ashley Connor, a self-taught graphic & web designer helping small businesses ditch the DIY struggle and get branding that actually works. Based in Chicago, I spend my days bringing brands to life and my nights chasing my three little girls (usually with a cinnamon roll in one hand and a Reese’s in the other).

I actually started in photography, which means I see branding through a different lens—literally. Now, instead of capturing moments, I help businesses capture attention with creative, strategic, and scroll-stopping designs.

A few other things you should know about me:

✔️ Wife & girl mom of 3 (aka professional multitasker)
✔️ Big fan of Jesus, good design & great snacks
✔️ Passionate about helping small businesses stand out (because your brand should be as awesome as you are)

If your brand needs a glow-up (without the stress), let’s make magic happen!
