I'm Alyse, steward of Ardent Design Co., and I forge ambitious visions into legacies that make your audience lean in and pledge their loyalty.
You didn't come this far to blend in.
I'm a lifelong artist, typography devotee, and keeper of stories. For over a decade, I've been crafting brands that feel less like marketing and more like heirlooms—drawing inspiration from medieval manuscripts, vintage book covers, and the worn beauty of tools that have served their purpose well.
What drives me is helping you feel truly seen. Not just acknowledged, but understood at the deepest level—where your vision is honored and transformed into visuals that feel unmistakably, authentically you. The kind of brand that makes you stand taller when you share it with the world.
When I'm not at my desk, you'll find me reading fairy tales with (or without) my kiddo, hiking with my family, or falling down creative rabbit holes (currently obsessed with: illuminated initials and collaging).
This isn't just design. It's legacy work. And I'm honored our paths have crossed in this chapter of your journey.
