I'm Allison, a Chicago-born-and-bred graphic designer, art director and illustrator. A graduate of both the School of Visual Arts (BFA Illustration) and Columbia College Chicago (PBComm Graphic Design), I've spent time in Chicago and New York City as both a freelance and in-house designer and art director for clothing brands, non-profits, agencies, and small businesses alike. I love learning new things, collaborating, and having as much fun as possible. My skillset ranges from art direction to UI design for e-commerce, and now I can incorporate those skills into my current role as a senior brand designer for the hospitality space. Additionally, I have a passion for uplifting fellow BIPOC creatives and working with and for companies that share that vision. As a genderqueer Filipinx American, I take pride in my culture, and try to infuse that sensibility into everything I do.
In my free time, I hang out with my cat, Toast, cook elaborate meals for no reason, occasionally make zines, and travel outside the country whenever possible.
