She has a healthy experience laying out documents using InDesign, Illustrator and MS Word for case studies, brochures, fact sheets, proposals, guidebooks, and more.

Allison specializes in design for the financial industry, having worked in New York City's fast-paced in-house climate for over 3 years, but she is looking to branch out to new industries.

Her passion is in design and psychology, however, her business and consulting experience provides her with the insight to understand content, problems, and goals in order to be more strategic at all stages in the design process. She has successfully project managed large-scale sales development and eLearning programs, and was heavily involved in the content creation, visual conceptualization, and design execution for each. Allison thrives in a fast-paced environment and can work in cross-functional teams as well as independently. She is self-motivated, approaches work with a can-do attitude, and is driven by her own desire to produce beautiful work. -
