ALISON GALARZA
ACD / ART
Hey ya’ll.
I’m Alison, an ACD/ART in Chicago.
I’m half Ecuadorian, raised in the good ol’ Midwest USA. Growing up between cultures was as inspiring as it was challenging, but I realized creativity transcends the barriers of language and became obsessed with all forms of it.
From painting, writing, animation, cooking, photography, sculpture – whatever I could get my hands on, I dabbled in it.
Now, I’ve made a career out of collaborating with incredibly talented people from all over the world to create work that matters, and that’s pretty damn cool.
I thrive in the chaos of production, care deeply about craft and the people I work with – especially when it comes to mentoring the next generation of creatives.
When I’m not working, I’m either hanging out at the nearest body of water (usually Lake Michigan) or with my two (canine) sons, whom I love dearly.
I’m currently an Associate Creative Director (art) at BarkleyOKRP, working on Burger King and Metro by T-Mobile.
