Hey there! I'm Alyssa.

I'm a designer-turned-therapist with a love for problem-solving, people, and purposeful creativity. I have a Bachelor's degree in Technical Media Communication and a Master's degree in Psychology, which means I love blending storytelling, research, and human behavior to craft thoughtful, impactful designs.

My journey has taken me from working as a Media Director for the H.E.B. Foundation’s youth camps to running my own therapy business—and now, I’m eager to bring my expertise in communication back into the design and marketing world. With skills in empathy-driven research, high-quality questioning, and meaningful team collaboration, I thrive on creating products that truly connect with people and work for them.

Whether it's designing with purpose, solving complex challenges, or diving into the intersection of psychology and creativity, I love how the design process can bring us together and make the world a little bit better.
