Hey, I’m Alison! ❀
I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design at Columbia College Chicago and worked at local copy shops for several years before deciding to freelance design. I also decided to sell unique 3d printed products on Etsy since it combines art and design for me!
Chicory Designs is named after the periwinkle wildflower since when I was little my grandma and I would pick them on walks. Whenever I see a chicory, it gives me some nostalgia and remembrance about when I was a kid.
Design and art were always special to me (I was that kid always doodling and art was my favorite class). I was introduced to the world of design in the second half of high school. When a shirt design I made in HS was selected to be worn in an event, that was the moment I wanted to be a designer! I want to help color the world with my creations; after all, we’re all unique, so our designs should be too!
When I’m not designing, selling, or doing Chicory Design things, I spend time with my significant other, husky, and guinea pig. Some of my hobbies include watching anime, cooking, and thrifting.
