I’m Alisha Davis, a Charlotte-based graphic designer and communications support specialist with a degree in Advertising & Graphic Design from Central Piedmont Community College. I create brand systems, visual identities, infographics, editorial layouts, and web-based materials shaped by research, accessibility, and cultural context.
Background
My work draws on craft, language, and lived experience as perspective and foundation – not decoration.
My practice is growing around the ability to hold context, meaning, and intention at the same time. That process is where my curiosity lives, and it shows up more reliably in the work than any trend does.
A historian’s curiosity, a maker’s instinct.
How I think
Notes
A set of typographic poster studies from school, built around Black design history, archival reference, color, and hierarchy. They were small exercises, but they helped shape how I think about research-led visual language.
I trace family history for fun, which says a lot about me. The candles are an experiment. The cats have opinions about the work and share them freely.
I've been tracing my family history for years — chasing names through census records, land deeds, and church ledgers. It's the longest project I've ever worked on, and it's the one that taught me what it means to hold a story carefully.
Closing
I’m looking for a place where I can contribute what I already know, keep learning quickly, and grow around people who take the work seriously. Studio, in-house, or somewhere in between. I’m less concerned with the setup than I am with getting started.
