Hi, I’m Ashley Bell. I’m a technically and creatively-minded designer with experience in digital, print, and web design. I’m self-motivated, adaptable, and disciplined, pursuing two passions that require those traits - design and running. I am always up for a challenge and what I find rewarding about both design and running is that the work you put into it is the result you get out of it.
Designer
I have a diverse design background as an in-house graphic designer, freelance designer, and web designer working with a variety of large and small scale clients. I’m passionate about illustrative design and also bring years of experience in digital, print, and web design.
Runner
The constant desire for self-improvement and chasing endorphins drives me to keep competing at a local and national level. To me, life is better in running shoes. I also helped found Valor Track Club, a rapidly growing running club based in Southern California. Being the brand designer for the team I also compete for has been a dream of mine!
Animal Lover
I believe in caring for and respecting all types of life and I actively practice this in my everyday life, whether it’s being a life-long vegetarian to caring for my own pets. I literally would not even hurt a fly.
Education
I graduated from Concordia University Irvine in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Marketing. At Concordia, I was a full-time student, three-sport athlete and All-American (Cross Country, Indoor Track, Outdoor Track), and worked part-time as a web editor and designer for the university’s web team.
