A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I’m Allison, a graphic designer and design mentor.
From dreamy to difficult, I’ve worked with more than 125 clients in various industries over the past 13+ years. But when I first started freelancing, I had no idea what I was doing. Let alone how to run a business.
After experimenting with different types of services, honing my processes, trying out “passive” income, and dealing with plenty of tricky client situations, I’ve learned that success isn’t about saying “yes” to everything or chasing every inquiry. It’s about being intentional with the life you want to live and setting boundaries in your business that make it possible.
As a mentor for designers, I share what I have learned as a designer and business owner, so you can skip some of the messy middle and focus on what you love - designing! I’m living proof that you can build a thriving, life-giving business, and I’m here to help you elevate your process, wow your clients, and work on projects that truly light you up.
