Allyson Arrogante
Designer II @ Disney
About Me
I'm a Filipino-American raised and based in San Antonio, Texas. From scrappy designer to studio owner and now to Disney, I work on intentional systems, charming communication, and engaging education.
While I continue to grow in my career and craft, I also pursue ways to stay true to my values. As a first-generation college student, I find fulfillment in providing education and opportunities to other designers. I act on this by volunteering my time online through portfolio reviews, career advice, and the occasional presentation to classes at my alma mater.
In my free time, I binge video games, casually watch anime, and sing too loud in the car.
