Ashton Gravelle
Creative Astronaut | Senior Designer
The most exciting creative challenges are the ones that don’t have a map.
With over 9 years of experience across in-house environments, I’ve found my focus at the intersection of of brand, storytelling, and systems, often in complex or highly visible environments.
I thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where clarity matters. As a Senior Designer at FanDuel, I lead projects end-to-end, managing designers, guiding production partners, and acting as a creative strategist within the public affairs organization.
At the end of the day, I’m just trying to make complex things feel simple, clear, and worth paying attention to.
Outside of work, I’m usually at a dog park, in a workout class, or in a very serious search for the best margarita in the city.
