Ashley Kolar

Ashley leads PBK’s Branded Environments team, where she collaborates closely with architects and clients to infuse projects with identity, meaning, and visual energy. With over a decade of graphic design experience and a strong foundation in fine art, Ashley specializes in transforming client visions into vibrant, educational graphics that elevate the learning environment. 

Her expertise lies in creating custom visual storytelling elements—from wayfinding systems to large-scale murals—that reflect each school’s unique culture and community.

Passionate about making schools more engaging and student-friendly, she thrives on designing environments that are as imaginative as the learners they serve.
