​A few of the most impressive strengths are illuminous color schemes and her personal style in her characters. She works well with color language in character design and other art forms. She is sensitive to contrasting colors in her work. I see how she inspires others through communicating a sense of connectivity and movement as well as being strong in figure drawing.

Personally, Ashley is a hidden jewel, she is on time, dedicated and passionate about being part of the bigger picture. She is excited to continue in her education and is a model for others to follow. She works well with others, and it has been a true pleasure getting to know her and I consider her a friend.

​She has volunteered in art related activities and has sought knowledge, not only here, but outlets that will aid her to form a foundation that will lead to a brighter future.
