Allison is driven by the impact human behavior has on design throughout history.

With a background in art history and fine art, that curiosity extended into the digital world, utilizing software to craft functional, intuitive products that feel second nature.

As a UX leader with nearly a decade of experience in product design, Allison drives innovation by fostering a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and deep user understanding. She empowers her team to think boldly, learn continuously, and craft fun-to-use, impactful products.

Beyond her professional pursuits, Allison finds joy in curating playlists for life's every moment, watching documentaries, and relaxing in the backyard of her Minneapolis home with her family.

She believes that kindness, humility, and learning from others are the keys to success in both work and life.
