About
Alyssa Margioras
Creative + Designer
OWNER, VISUAL STORYTELLER, TRUE CRIME ENTHUSIAST & AMATEUR DOUGH WRANGLER
I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, in a big, loud, loving family where there was always something going on. Being an athlete for most of my life taught me discipline, grit, and the value of showing up, all things I carry with me into my creative work today.
Before stepping into the design world, I spent a lot of years in the service industry, bartending and serving. It was fast-paced, people-centered, and full of lessons that still shape how I run my business, with heart, hustle, and a genuine care for the people I work with.
In 2019, I graduated from The Modern College of Design with a degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communications. Not long after, I packed up and moved to Denver, ready to do whatever it took to make it in this industry. Since then, I’ve had the chance to design for all kinds of industries — law, finance, food & beverage, medical, and more, and no matter the field, I’ve found that the most fulfilling part is helping someone bring their vision to life.
When I’m not designing, you can usually find me baking something from scratch, working in my garden, hanging out with my dog Daisy and my cat Obi, or planning my next trip. Forged By Design is the result of years of growth, leaps of faith, and a whole lot of late nights, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
