Multidisciplinary designer with a focus on client interactions and experiences.

Hello! My name is Alo, and I'm a recent graduate of Wellesley College, where I studied Media Arts and Sciences, and Japanese Language and Culture. I interned at the Kura Monzen Gallery in Kyoto, Japan as a catalog and social media designer, and have participated in zines and other media projects during my time at Wellesley College. I enjoy working in fast-paced environments that allow me to exercise multiple skill sets. In my free time, I enjoy sewing, playing Squaredle, and hunting down Hangyodon-themed merchandise. Please see my Resume and Portfolio below.
