The People Who Make it Happen: Alli McAuley

At ISA, the work we do is rooted in strategy, research, and design. But at the heart of it all are the people we work with. 

 

This new series is our way of pulling back the curtain and introducing you to the people who make it happen: the thinkers, creatives, collaborators, and partners who help bring each project to life. 

 

And who better to start with than the brilliant force behind our creative work, Alli McAuley.

 

Alli is ISA’s Director of Creative Services and brings more than 20 years of experience partnering with schools, nonprofits, and impact-driven organizations to tell their stories through brand strategy, design, and digital marketing. She has a rare ability to take complex goals and translate them into visual systems that feel clear, compelling, and true to an organization’s values. 

 

With a background in advertising from Michigan State University and post-graduate work in graphic design at Miami Ad School Atlanta, Alli’s creative foundation is both strategic and deeply thoughtful, which is exactly why our clients love working with her.

 

When she’s not building beautiful brands, Alli lives on an old farm in Hilton, New York, complete with two barns, a silo, and an 1850s farmhouse that’s in a constant (and charming) state of renovation. 

 

We’re lucky to have her leading the creative work at ISA, and even luckier to get to work alongside her every day.
