Allison has always been passionate about using her creative energy! She
fondly remembers hand making greeting cards as a kid, and walking around
the neighborhood selling them for holidays. A few years after graduating
from business school, she decided to teach herself graphic design with the
idea that she would love to work for herself. She quickly began designing
event invitations for friends and family, and it wasn’t long before she
added calligraphy to her repertoire.  Since there weren’t any online or
local classes yet, Allison took to the library for traditional calligraphy
instruction books. After practicing the alphabet what felt like a million
times, she had developed her own style.  Allison Kathleen Calligraphy &
Design officially opened its electronic doors in March of 2011, the day
before Allison’s 25th Birthday! Now almost 7 years later, Allison still
loves taking on a variety of creative projects!

Allison works from her home office in Plymouth, MA. Though no two days are
ever the same, her favorite workday includes a sunshine filled office,
tea, podcasts, and colorful creative fun! When she’s not working in her
office, she’s most likely working outside in her gardens. She grows lots
of flowers (including dahlias!) each year for her own arrangements around
the house, and small events at the local Country Store. She is launching a
collection of flower photography prints under her newest business venture,
Lavender Ali.
