Lea Olson

Professional Summary

I have been in the graphic design and illustration field for over 4 years now. I received my bachelor’s degree in marketing with an associate’s degree in graphic design from the University of Anchorage Alaska. Throughout my studies and professional experience, I have gained exceptional knowledge of programs like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and more.

In the last four years I have worked as a Creative Manager for small businesses around the city of Anchorage, including Indigo Tea Lounge. I ran all of their social media accounts, updated menu designs, and evaluated brand identity, all while running the shop as a general manger.

Currently, I am working as a Marketing Sales Manager and Lead Graphic Designer for the Alaska Travel Industry Association. In this roll I get to work with a wide range of clients, make strong professional connections, and run hands-on creative projects. I had the honor to create the 25th anniversary logo for the company along with designing magazine pages, creating water bottle designs, running all of the business social media accounts, and so much more.

Working in the creative field is my passion, and I couldn’t be happier knowing I get to wake up and fuel that passion with any new projects that come my way.
