Hey, I'm Alex!

I’m the designer, art director, and occasional photographer behind Oh The Raven Studio. It’s a one-woman studio built on 15+ years of experience across branding, editorial, and campaign work.

Design has been part of my life since the early days of customizing MySpace backgrounds and band fan site graphics. What started as curiosity turned into a career rooted in strategy, structure, and execution. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked with small businesses, national publications, boutique agencies, and growing companies looking to clarify their brand presence.

My background includes editorial design and advertising at a national magazine, brand development at agencies, and independent creative direction across industries.

Brand Strategy
& Identity

Strong brands don’t happen by accident. I help companies clarify their positioning, messaging, and visual identity to build systems that scale. Whether you’re refreshing an existing brand or starting from the ground up, the goal is the same: clarity, cohesion, and long-term growth.

How We Can Work Together

Editorial &
Publication Design

With over five years of experience in national magazine editorial, I design publications that are structured, readable, and visually distinctive. From full magazine builds to campaign-driven print pieces, I create editorial systems that feel intentional and polished.

Experiential & Collateral Design

Brands need to show up beyond the screen. From vehicle wraps and environmental graphics to print collateral and custom applications, I design large-scale and tactile pieces that align seamlessly with your broader brand system.

Digital & Ongoing Brand Support

Digital presence should feel cohesive, not chaotic. I develop social templates, campaign assets, and scalable digital systems. For teams who need consistent creative direction, I also offer ongoing brand partnerships and retainers.
