Hey, there!

I’m Ashley Yantes

Production Designer & Photographer specializing in packaging, print production, and digital marketing assets

After graduating from St. Cloud State University with a B.S. in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Photojournalism, I began my career in marketing before quickly realizing that production design was where I truly belonged. I landed my first design role soon after and haven't looked back since.

Over the years I've built deep expertise in packaging mechanicals, print production, and high-volume digital asset creation — working with agencies and in-house teams to produce work that's polished, precise, and production-ready. From CPG packaging and national publication ads to retail signage and large-scale campaign rollouts, I love translating approved creative into flawless final output that holds up all the way through to print.

I thrive at the intersection of design and production — working within strong brand systems, collaborating closely with creative teams and print vendors, and moving projects from concept to final delivery without losing anything along the way. I've worked in both agency and in-house environments and bring the same attention to detail and file discipline to every project regardless of scale.
My career has included work for brands like Marvin, General Mills, Shutterfly, Target, adidas, Nike, Puma, and many others — with print work appearing in national publications including Dwell, Architectural Digest, and Residential Design.

Outside of work you'll usually find me spending time with my family, experimenting with new coffee drinks, or capturing everyday moments through photography. I love the balance between creative problem-solving and production precision — and I'm always excited to collaborate with teams creating thoughtful, impactful work.
