About
I’m Alyse — designer, guide, and steward of Ardent Design Co. This studio was born from a love of timeless craftsmanship and the belief that your brand should feel like a homecoming. With intention, artistry, and strategy, I help creative entrepreneurs like you step into the legacy you’re building — clearly, confidently, and beautifully.
Let this be your banquet hall — a gathering place for clarity and transformation.
You’ve done the hard part. You made it here.
Now let me carry the weight of design.
welcome, traveler
You’ve wandered far — weathered storms, scaled summits, and carved out a path entirely your own. The road of entrepreneurship is no gentle stroll; it’s a quest. A calling. And sometimes, it’s a lonely one.
Here, within these walls, you’ve found something different. A place to rest the pack on your shoulders and warm your hands by the fire. A flickering hearth where stories are shared, ideas are shaped, and your vision is treated with the reverence it deserves.
A bit about me.
I’m Alyse — a lifelong artist, typography enthusiast, and storykeeper at heart. I’ve spent over a decade crafting intentional brands for creative entrepreneurs, drawing inspiration from medieval manuscripts, vintage book covers, and the quiet magic of well-worn tools.
What lights me up is helping people feel seen. The kind of seen that sinks into your bones — where your ideas are not only heard but honored, translated into visuals that feel like you in your truest form.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me reading fairy tales with (or without) my kiddo, hiking with my family, curating color palettes like potions, or dreaming up my next creative rabbit hole (currently: illuminated initials and 14th-century embroidery patterns).
This isn’t just design. It’s legacy work. And I’m so glad our paths have crossed.
