Ali got her start in the creative field over 20 years ago when she joined her high school newspaper and yearbook staff, eventually becoming the editor of the yearbook. She then went on to study visual communications, and public relations. Throughout her 20 year career, she has worked as a freelance photographer, retoucher, graphic designer, and project manager. She worked at Gecko for six years as a project manager, left to try out the software industry, but came back because she missed making websites so much! She is now a web designer at Gecko, and is loving being back in the creative field.
