Meet Allison
After graduating from Emory University in 2014, Allison built her career in NYC (with brief stints in Boston and Chicago) at top creative agencies working with best-in-class brands and firms in the design industry.
After leading PR programs for category-leading giants like 1stDibs, Crate & Kids, Legrand, Kohler Co., Steelcase, The Shade Store, Workshop/APD, and York Wallcoverings, she decided to take the leap into agency ownership and embrace the opportunity to work with design world entrepreneurs — firm principals on the rise, multigenerational product manufacturers embracing PR in new ways, and emerging trade software developers changing the game for the industry. She loves shining the spotlight on fresh talent and making connections for clients that put them on the map as true category thought leaders.
Allison services clients nationwide from her home base in Brooklyn, NY, where she's constantly dreaming up new art and interior design projects, much to her husband's chagrin.
