Bio
Allison is a student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, focusing on Design and Visual Communication with significant experience in painting and drawing. After obtaining a certificate in web design from the Fox Valley Technical College, she was compelled to take her artistic knowledge in a new direction.
With a sketchbook always on hand, Allison is prepared to write or sketch ideas as they arise. She has been accumulating drawings ever since she was a child, when she began sketching various characters, first from observation and then from imagination.
Allison acknowledges the impact of asking a question and has a strong interest in problem solving. She finds inspiration in observing the natural world and the role of design in everyday life. Allison draws on past experiences and understands the importance of communication and research. She is seeking to work in brand design, product development, social networking, illustration and freelance.
