In my experience, the best advertising is created when you like and trust the people you work with.
And when you're having fun. Yes! Advertising can and should be fun. So here's some good news: Ashley is really fun to work with. She's other things too. Ashley is smart, creative, dedicated and always striving to make the work better. But when you tie all that up with someone who is bursting with positive energy, then that's the full package. And that's what it's been like creating award-winning work with Ashley.

I highly recommend Ashley Bacco for any position involving design, marketing, branding and communications.
I collaborated with Ashley on multiple occasions, and was consistently impressed with both her products and professionalism. Using the firm's newly created website as a launching point, Ashley applied her design expertise and attention to detail to further elevate Biohabitats' brand. Under her leadership, our creative team infused new life and sophistication into our print material and digital content.

Ashley is always pleasant, professional, and produces high-quality work.
She can easily pivot to a variety of projects in multiple software spaces with ease. I know that I can trust that Ashley will turn around work on time (many times a rush deadline) and that she will carefully read through provided materials and direction so that her work is thorough and accurate. Ashley is a thoughtful and talented designer with a keen eye for balance, composition, typography and color. I would recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a creative and talented designer.
