Ashley Smith

Senior Experience Designer

Ashley Smith is a Senior Experience Designer on the Build Team at Alloy Partners. Her career began in 2016 as a student in the Master's program for Human-Computer Interaction at Indiana University. Since then, Ashley has worked as a Product Designer on scrum-based teams for various SaaS companies, creating products for marketing campaigns, sales, customer service, and healthcare. With five years of industry experience, she joined Alloy Partners in early 2023, where she can think more conceptually and explore new product ideas to bring to the world.

Ashley is motivated by the opportunity to design solutions that help people with complex, everyday problems. The most exciting part of her job is the idea that someone might actually use a solution she and her team come up with.

Outside of work, Ashley has a rich and diverse background. She used to be a competitive cheerleader, traveling around the region and even to Florida to compete with different teams—"Bring It On!" She is also a portrait painter who actively showcases her artwork and recently moved into a new studio. Additionally, Ashley was once a math whiz, with a SAT math score so high that her college direct-admitted her into the math program, though she admits she has lost some of her math skills over time.
