Alicia Lyon, Art Director

Hi, I'm Alicia Lyon 🦁

I’ve been interested in advertising for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I created flyers to sell my Pokémon cards and carefully chose the colors and layouts that would stand out. Long before I understood strategy or creative briefs, I've always been drawn to creating things that got attention.

Since then, I've collaborated and designed for Fortune 500 companies and iconic brands across automotive (GM, Ford, Lincoln, CarBravo), healthcare (Cleveland Clinic, AstraZeneca, Zoetis), food (General Mills, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Campbell's), apparel (Under Armour, Lord & Taylor), and blue-collar legends (STIHL and John Deere).

Outside of work, you'll usually find me training as an aerial circus artist (think Cirque du Soleil's minor leagues). When I'm not hanging from the ceiling, I'm volunteering with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, tackling whatever DIY project caught my attention that week.

TL;DR:

Alicia Lyon is an award-winning (and occasional award-losing) creative thinker who creates compelling visuals for major brands, based in Detroit, Michigan. Outside of work, Alicia balances a personal life as circus performer and mental health advocate – with a strong cold brew habit to prove it.
