Hi there! My name is Allie Pakulski (she/her), but some people call me Barbie. I am a Toledo-based Graphic Designer and recent graduate of Miami University. During my time at Miami, I earned Magna Cum Laude honors with my BFA in Communication Design. Additionally, I completed my minor in Creative Entrepreneurship and went above and beyond the requirements needed to graduate from the honors college.
I have been in love with graphic design since the age of 15 and am overly passionate about the Greater Toledo community. I love using my talent to positively impact the people and places within it. More specifically, I love helping Toledo business owners of all shapes and sizes build a successful brand that can be infused across various forms of print media, web development, and social platforms. This passion has been affirmed through my career experience focused on the Toledo area, including my coursework pertaining to the community, social media and design experience for Evolve Dance Company, and the positions I have held at Ape Forge Creative Agency. Along with all of my passion-based career development, I have been able to develop strong character traits in leadership and organization. Holding my past positions as Apparel Design Chair and Smile Pep Director for Phi Mu Fraternity, Student Designer for Miami University’s Howe Writing Center, Student Mentor as apart of a program I cultivated for my design underclassmen, and Project Manager for multiple school projects has shaped me into the hard working woman I am today. In my free time, I am a gym enthusiast, mental health advocate, amateur interior decorator, and event planner! Interested in my experience? View my resume here. Lets get in touch!
