Alicia Lyon, Art Director

Hi, I'm Alicia Lyon 🦁

Like my peers in SPAM, I didn't stumble into advertising. I was designing flyers to sell my Pokémon cards as a child, experimenting with my brand colors way before I knew what a creative brief was. I always wanted to design things that got attention.

Since then, I've worked with 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, all while trying to convince our two rowdy dogs that my husband and I are actually in charge. So far, the dogs remain unconvinced.

TL;DR:

Alicia is an award-winning (and occasional award-losing) creative thinker who creates compelling visuals for major global brands while balancing a personal life as an aerial circus artist and mental health advocate – with a strong cold brew habit to prove it.
