I'm Ashlyn. Welcome to my portfolio & my "niche" - the place where you can check out all of my passions, projects, skills and stories.
I'm a student, freelance writer, amateur graphic designer, SPFX makeup lover, costume assistant & stitcher, novelist and scriptwriter. ​
​
I love writing & creating art. Since I'm passionate about quite a few career paths and not quite sure where I'll end up, I've collected a variety of skills in graphic design, new media, writing, stitching, draping, patterning, wardrobe (dressing), styling and hair & makeup.
​
I offer freelance graphic design and writing. Most of my stories (and now, a script!) are available on Wattpad, an online writing platform.

Rosetta (Spring 2018)
In a small coffee shop, a 22-year-old anarchist grapples with love, identity, and the process of change.
I am the costume designer and hair & makeup designer for this experimental short film, which will be shooting over the last two weeks of the spring semester.
​
Pictures from the film to be added.
Mood board for Kat, his best friend.
​
Kat is wise, loyal and loyal, reflected in small, simple details of her outfits. Her overall vibe is feminine with a touch of tomboy-casual. She thrifts all her clothes, not necessarily by choice, but she makes it work.
​
Mood board for Surfer girl, his love interest.
​
She's his (failed) love interest - kind at first, then icy and annoyed. A conflicting vision of So-Cal prep style meets subdued seminary students. We're going for a 60s-mod vibe, to keep her "cool girl" but also simple in color and pattern.
​
Mood board for JT, his coworker.
​
Chill, married, southern, hip, contemporary. Reflected in simple styling and the use of denim , plaid, browns.
​
​
Mood board for Tyler, his coworker.
​
A wannabe gangster, into hip-hop but very white. Styling will be simple in the jeans and shoes, but will maintain the "homage to his idols" vibe with oversized layers, hat.
​
​
Mood board for Evan, the main character.
​
Evan loves the wilderness, hates technology, and isolates himself - all qualities reflected in his choices of clothing.
His jacket, pants, and boots will look worn-in and dirty, yet functional, like pieces he's worked in everyday for years.
