My first memories as a child are not on a sports field or a dance studio; mine are in an art classroom. I have always been fascinated with color, precise design and the rewarding feeling of creating something out of nothing.
My name is Alyson Herzog and I am a graphic designer and hand letterer in Houston, Texas. My approach and design processes are traditional and regimented. I like to know the details and nature of a project in order to create a very organized, realistic plan on how to tackle its creation. Never short on creative ideas, I let my imagination run wild with a keen eye for detail and sharp execution.
As a native Texan, I attended Texas A&M where I studied Visualization with a minor in Art & Architecture History. I am a quick learner with an endlessly curious mind. From mastering WordPress and creating websites (including dipping my toes into the world of coding) to teaching hand lettering courses, I take pride in the fact that I can do a bit of everything. My industry experience ranges from working with marketing companies in the areas of web and brand design, promotional products and printed materials to being an in-house designer for a well-known, national corporation. It is important to me to be able serve clients of any size and at any level.

Type Layout
Some may call it obsessive, I call it precision. I don’t just slap text on a design, I intentionally create type arrangements in a visually pleasing way.
Project & File Setup
With extreme attention to detail, I keep files so organized that anyone could pick up where I left off. You will never have to worry about receiving final1, final1final, finalfinalfinalfinalfinalfinal files from me. Everything is clearly dated and filed appropriately.
Flexibility & Growth
I work hard to prove myself. In almost every job I’ve held, I’ve started from entry level positions and grown to manager or director. In order to do this, I never stop learning, and I know how to pivot and readjust without difficulty.
