I'm Ashley Swanson, a marketing communications professional based in Northern New York with three years of experience running the full marketing operation for a nationally recognized art museum. In that time, I've rebuilt an email program from the ground up, grown social media audiences by thousands of percent, designed everything from major donor campaigns to event brochures, and built custom automations that connect Shopify, Google Apps Script, Google Sheets into a system that actually works. I do all of it solo, which has made me very good at figuring things out.
My background is in graphic design, and that foundation shows up in everything I do. Whether I'm writing a fundraising email, directing a campaign concept, or laying out a trifold, I'm thinking about how it looks and how it works at the same time.
I graduated cum laude from Southern New Hampshire University in 2023 with a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and Media Arts, and I've spent the time since putting that education to use in the real world.
When I'm not working I'm in nature enjoying the beauty of the North Country, or spending time with my dog, Gabe.
