Bio

Allison is a student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she is working toward a BFA in Design and Visual Communication and a certificate in digital fabrication.

Imaginative and investigative by nature, she has always had an insatiable curiosity about her surroundings. Since childhood, she has had a profound interest in the arts, specifically in drawing, painting, ballet, piano, and trumpet. She soon discovered a deep fascination with technology as well and became motivated to blend her two passions.

Proficient in printing, branding, and web design, she has since expanded to digital fabrication, industrial fabrication, and 3D printing. Allison cites her sense of moxie stems from her desire to broaden her understanding of the world and to find
connections within it. As a designer, she aspires to use her curiosity in addition to her skills in art and technology to pursue creative solutions and ultimately help others.
