Alyssa Low: From Pandemic Sketches to Bulls Arena Murals
Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist and designer Alyssa Low turned a pandemic visual diary into public murals and collaborations with Wayfair, the Chicago Bulls, and Soho House. Her work, rooted in bold color and community, appears on city walls, basketball courts, and 10,000 hats distributed at a Bulls game. Low balances her art practice with a full-time design job, drawing discipline from childhood experiences watching her mother run a design studio, playing competitive soccer, and practicing Tae Kwon Do. She was featured on the podcast 'The Design Of,' hosted by Justin Ahrens of Rule29, where she discussed building meaningful work while employed full-time, the moment murals 'clicked,' and how sports and martial arts inform her creative rhythm.
