About the Artist
It’s a joy living and working as a creative artist and finding connections with others across many different disciplines.
Through art and creativity, my aim is to explore ideas and images that capture my imagination as a way to make sense of our ever-changing world.

Alyson Plante
Visual artist, art director, and writer
Plante Creative Studio
Alyson Plante is a visual artist, independent art director, and writer who lives and works in Virginia.
Alyson’s visual arts background lead her to the world of creative direction and design. Holding a BFA in Design from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, she provides creative design solutions and production services to publishers, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations.
With over 25 years of experience in publication design, visual identity, and advertising design, Alyson considers herself to be a visual problem solver and storyteller.
As a multidisciplinary artist, her creative work encompasses painting, photography, and writing (poetry and fiction). Her paintings and photography have been shown regionally and have been commissioned for commercial and private projects.
Her poetry chapbooks include Void Darlings and Overgrown Gardens. Alyson’s poetry has appeared in online journals, on street murals in Charlotte, in art exhibitions in Richmond, and in creative vending machines in DC. She is currently working on a short story collection.
When she’s not making stuff, Alyson can be found hanging out with her family, tinkering with her plants and herbs, or curled up with a good book.
Art Direction and Design Experience
I’ve worked as a graphic designer in publishing, as an art director in financial services, and as a creative specialist in public affairs. After working in those organizations for years, I saw a need for more clarity.
People want a streamlined, straightforward design process. They want simplicity, efficiency, and focus. Being an independent studio means that I’m able to concentrate on select projects in order to stay nimble and responsive to my clients’ creative needs.
Good design is valuable. It doesn't have to be complicated. It’s about streamlining the design process, reducing stress, and delivering solid creative solutions on time, for a fair price, with kindness.
Plante Creative Studio provides creative solutions and production services for clients who care about doing good work together.
Consider me your scrappy, loyal design agent. Let’s get creative.
Thank you for your interest.
