Alanna here 👋
But you can call me Al, Big Al, Sparky, Gremlanna, Baby G, Lannie-Loo, Bean Town Cheddar, or simply AQ.
I’m an Art Director who loves a good story and cries at sports documentaries. I know a little too much about ancient history, astrology, the 2018 Red Sox, Punxatawney Phil, modern feminism, Irish pub songs, and the history of the tomato. So if your trivia team needs a sub, let me know.
I love any reason to throw a party. Truly, any reason– please give me a reason. See some of my best work here.
But you’re most likely here to talk about work, so check out the resume or download a souvenir copy for the fridge.
