about me

Hey there, I’m Ali Blackwood! I’m an artist and graphic designer in Spokane, Washington.

During the day you’ll find me designing publications, developing marketing, creating advertising and managing websites and digital at Inlander Headquarters in Kendall Yards.

When I’m not at the Inlander you might find me on stage at Pinot’s Palette, instructing painting classes filled with tipsy novice artists.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, painting, puzzling, paddle boarding, watching sci-fi, playing video games, eating candy and spending time with my husband and cats.
