Annabelle Aispuro
Graphic Designer at ASTM International
Graphic Designer | Volunteer | Veteran | Baker | MPS Graduate
After serving seven years in the Navy, I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at The University of the Arts, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While I was in school, I honed my skills and worked with different organizations to gain essential design experience before I graduated. I worked in Photoshop and slowly started to learn more about InDesign and Illustrator. The best was working on a stop motion animation at a design agency, where my minor came in handy when building props and animating the pieces.

I currently work at ASTM International, designing promotional and informational materials, including the bi-monthly magazine, "Standardization News," and catalogs. I am deeply familiar with following branding guidelines and even created some of my own along the way. I mainly work independently, but do not shy away from a team environment. I enjoy the collaborative environment where we all can build off of each other's ideas. I am always inspired by other people's talents and it motivates me to do to more of my own work.

In that vain, I volunteer on Catchafire, where I offer my design skills for free to non-profits in need. I have saved a few organizations thousands of dollars in design work, which allows them to focus their funds to their main mission. I am always glad to use my talents and skills to help where I can.

My other big hobby is baking. I am teaching myself to bake various things like bread. I started a blog a while about it. I test my bakes on my friends and have yet to receive a complaint! My baking skills are in high demand!
