Admiring an optimal user experience in Bergen, Norway.
Hi, I’m Allison.
I’m a passionate problem-solver dedicated to crafting refined, captivating solutions that tackle complex human challenges. From New York to DC to California—and soon, London—I’ve spent my career designing innovative, intuitive experiences that put people first.
Although I had a grand childhood ambition of becoming a renowned humpback whale scientist, I couldn’t deny that I loved to draw. I found myself integrating art into each college internship, from sketches of each pest that plagued the campus greenhouse to an illustrated map of bird nesting spots in the surrounding nature preserve. It wasn’t until my first job post-college, where I redesigned Nantucket’s natural science museum with my own drawings and descriptions of each specimen, that I realized the power art and science can hold when they coalesce. Enter: a career shift to design.
A journey that included a corporate law firm, a national park, and several nonprofits led me to Capital One, where I worked to infuse life, personality, and trust into digital customer experiences for small business owners. I’m currently taking an intentional career pause to relocate my family abroad, and slowly exploring what the next page in my sketchbook looks like.
