Alyssa Oglesbee – Video Development Lead

Alyssa Oglesbee is our Lead Designer and Animator. She has a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts Degree in Biomedical Art from the Cleveland Institute of Art. She designs and creates all of the videos for Clear Digital Media.

Alyssa chose to go into medical media specifically because she had a strong interest in both art and science. She admittedly does not have the patience to teach directly but feels that educating people about their health is extremely important. Going into the medical media field made Alyssa feel like she was contributing towards medical education in her own way. She chose to go the digital media route because it is such a powerful educational tool. Alyssa considers herself a visual learner, so she can appreciate the impact that digital media has on education. “The beauty of digital media is its ability to reach such a wide audience and tell a broader story than you can get in a static image,” Alyssa says.

Alyssa’s favorite part about working for CDM is that every day is different. She never has a chance to get bored and never feels like she’s doing the same thing twice. She also really enjoys the work environment. We have a really great group of people in our office!

When Alyssa is not in the office, she likes to read, write, draw, hike, rock climb, and camp. She also really enjoys learning new crafts, so when she is able, Alyssa tries to teach herself how to do new things.

You would contact Alyssa any time you have questions about what materials you can send for a video, if you have an idea for a new video, or if you want updates to an existing video. Alyssa takes the materials our clients send us and creates videos around them, therefore any questions pertaining to the creation of a video falls to her.
