Hey there! I’m Alison Gamm, an Associate Art Director at Dotdash Meredith. I graduated from Iowa State University in 2013 with a BFA in Graphic Design. During my last semester of college, I was fortunate to land an internship with one of the largest magazine publishers in the world—Meredith Corporation (now Dotdash Meredith), where I’ve remained working ever since. My career has evolved from designing sidebars and department pages to creating entire magazines.
Starting in 2017, I became the sole designer of Quilts & More, which I worked on until its closure in 2022. I was able to stay on with the company and transition into working on various food, craft, and home titles. Since that transition, I have been able to have complete design ownership over the magazines that I work on. I’m passionate about creating clean, cohesive designs that really allow the content to shine. There are so many talented contributors that I work with, and I want my designs to showcase their work in a complimentary way.
A few things I pride myself on are my organization skills, communication, collaboration, and timeliness. My aim is to produce the best content with as much ease as possible. I’m always happy to troubleshoot and figure things out to make my job, and the jobs of others, easier. Often times, I’m the go-to person when people have questions relating to programs we use in our process. I’m always willing to pitch in and help when needed, while ensuring my own work stays on schedule and designed to my standards.
