A glimpse into my life outside of design ↓

Hi, I'm Ava Ash!

I am currently a fourth-year Communication Design student at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree with a minor in Marketing through the Lindner College of Business.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented designer with a strong passion for how design can tell stories, solve problems, and inspire connection. I am fascinated by the way visuals communicate across different mediums and enjoy exploring how design blends creativity and strategy to create meaningful experiences. 

Beyond academics, I stay active in UC Circle K Club, Club Softball, and volunteer with Matthew 25 Ministries. In my free time, I enjoy reading, exercising, and spending time outdoors.

I am currently searching for a Spring 2027 Co-Op Position.
