Welcome to my studio, I’m glad you’re here.
I’m Alina and it’s nice to meet you. I have an insatiable desire to create and love to visually problem-solve through design. I believe in authentic human-made work and bring heart and soul to all of my projects.
Based in Madison, Wisconsin, I have over fifteen years of experience working in the industry. I graduated from Michigan State University (GO GREEN!) with a degree in Fine Arts and Graphic Design.
I love making deep connections and sharing my passion for creativity. Nature-inspired work is my favorite. When I'm not working on the computer, sketching out ideas, or painting, you can find me outside somewhere, usually chasing my rambunctious kids around.

What People Are Saying
“Alina is a wonderful, intuitive designer. When we met to discuss my business, she quickly understood my vision—and went on to create the perfect logo to convey it. I was delighted with the end results. I highly recommend her work.”
— Lynn Gutknecht, Lynn Gutknecht Counseling
“Alina is not only a highly talented designer, but she’s also one of my favorite people to collaborate with. Her creative sense can turn any project into a thing of beauty. One of the best projects we created together was the 2015–16 annual report for the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association. Alina took what might have been a dry recitation of events and statistics and turned it into a jewel of a book. It was largely her work that earned the report a gold medal from our trade association, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education. What I value most is Alina’s determination to understand the purpose of a print or digital piece so that she can create a design that is not only attractive but, more importantly, effectively communicates a message.
— John Allen, Managing Director, Alumni Communications, Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association
“Alina Ruppel delivers professionally, on-time, and with an expert sense of design and functionality. I enjoyed working with Alina on all stages of my project.”
