Allyson Gaughan

Graphic Designer

Hailing from a small farm outside of South Dakota, Allyson brings a do-it and do-it-well kind of attitude to her work. She has always enjoyed design, even from a young age, and would commonly find herself using her mom’s computer and Photoshop to make her latest project. She pursued Bachelor of Arts degree in graphic design from South Dakota State University and started working as a graphic designer in the University basement print shop in 2013. After graduating school in 2015, she married her now-husband, Ben, and moved to his hometown of Fargo-Moorhead.



Allyson has continued to hold the title of Graphic Designer ever since that first design job in 2013. She loves making things, not only on the computer for clients but also in her free time. Her hobbies include baking, cooking, and crafting. She prides herself as woman not afraid of picking up a sewing machine, paintbrush or power tool and getting to work! Allyson cares for her family of two girls, Kiara and Lyla throughout the week. They enjoy playing board games as a family and teaching her kids what it means to be creative.
