Alyssa Lang

As a professional designer since 1994, Alyssa has worked in several professional environments, ranging from a small three-person advertising agency, to a large international consulting firm, culminating in the creation of her own design studios, Little Utopia Design and Studio Pienza. She has designed a range of printed marketing collateral, websites, logos, and books and book covers. Her art and design interests lie in typography, calligraphy, posters, book design, logos, papermaking, letterpress and block printing, ceramics, and watercolor painting.

After receiving a BFA in Studio Art, with a concentration in Graphic Design from West Chester University in Pennsylvania, she worked in the design industry for six years. In 2000, she began working toward an MFA in Graphic and Interactive Design at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Prior to Cal Poly Pomona she had taught at American University in Washington, DC and Arcadia University outside Philadelphia.

Her work has been published in numerous books and magazines including PRINT Magazine’s Regional Design Annual and How Magazine, and twice she has received an AIGA (Re)Design Award.

Outside Cal Poly Pomona, Alyssa enjoys spending time with her husband and son, watching soccer and tennis, playing with her two corgis, and doing all manner of art, craft, and design. In addition to the visual arts, Alyssa is an avid pianist.
