About me

Hello! My name is Ashley Legassie! With a strong foundation in Graphic Design from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, I have honed my skills through hands-on projects and coursework that emphasize creativity and strategic thinking. I have acquired valuable experience both through my college education and multiple internships, contributing to successful marketing campaigns that enhanced target market visibility and customer engagement. My approach integrates design with a strong grasp of marketing, achieving impactful outcomes.

Other than Graphic Design I also enjoy photography and social media content creation. I have had the opportunity to incorporate both into my work during my time at Chartwells Higher Education. I value teamwork, integrity, and the opportunity to make a positive impact through my work.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new design trends, traveling, and spending quality time with my family. One of my all-time favorite things to do is go to concerts!
