Hello! I’m Analisa Missouri Smith.

I’m a graphic designer with a passion for bringing creative visions to life. My journey in graphic design began in high school, where I worked on the school newspaper and later as a graphic designer for our local newspaper. This early experience sparked my love for visual storytelling.

After earning my BA in Graphic Design from Coker University in 2011, I spent the next decade honing my craft. I gained invaluable insights into the print world during my tenure at a printing company while simultaneously freelancing for clients in the Hartsville area and beyond.

In 2021, I made the exciting move to Charleston, SC, to join the esteemed Forbes Books team. As the Creative Manager of Corporate Marketing, I play a pivotal role in shaping the visual identity for a diverse range of clients. I thrive on the challenge of translating client visions into compelling designs that resonate with audiences.

With a dedication to innovation and a passion for design, I am committed to elevating brands and creating impactful visuals that leave a lasting impression.
