Hi! I'm Ally Stephens

 I’m a student graphic designer at Troy University. I'm originally from St. Johns County, Florida. Growing up where I did had provided me with the opportunities that ultimately led me to study graphic design. The push for career education opportunities for high school students in Florida schools provided me with the opportunity to be a part of a digital design curriculum over the four years. This curriculum exposed me to the Adobe Creative Suite in a low-stress environment, with each year of the program focusing on learning a different software. Additionally, the unique positioning of where I grew up, being within an hour of both St. Augustine and Jacksonville, exposed me to a large sports market and rich cultural experiences.

Growing up, I was heavily exposed to high school sports as the child of a football coach. Once I began to learn the foundations of graphic design in school, I started exploring sports design in my free time. Though it wasn't on my radar for the longest time as a career opportunity, I've become extremely passionate about sports design. This has led me to the opportunity to begin an internship with Troy Athletics Creative Services, cementing my passion for this field of Design.
 

My work is driven by a desire to create designs that radiate vibrancy and capture a sense of life and energy. approach every project with curiosity and imagination, always looking for new ways to communicate ideas visually. At the same time, I stay grounded—balancing creativity with clarity and intention. What I bring to the table is a unique way of thinking, a strong sense of passion, and an enthusiasm for translating vivid ideas into meaningful design.
