About me

Hello! My name is Ashley Legassie! I am currently the Graphic Designer at CPI Security, where I blend creativity with strategy to deliver impactful marketing materials across various platforms. In addition to my full-time role, I freelance, working with clients to bring their visions to life through thoughtful and effective design.

I earned my Graphic Design degree from UNC Charlotte and have since built hands-on experience across industries, creating social media content, marketing campaigns, billboards, and sports marketing materials for Minor League Baseball stadiums.

My approach combines innovative design with a strong understanding of marketing, achieving impactful outcomes. I value teamwork, integrity, and the opportunity to make a positive impact through meaningful, well-crafted design.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new design trends, traveling, and spending quality time with my family. One of my all-time favorite things to do is go to concerts!
