Designing for the pull of the coast, the warmth of the sun, and brands that feel like home.

HI, I'M ALLY

Hi, I'm Ally!

Nature is my design brief. Every project begins with the same approach: what does this place, this material, this way of living, actually feel like, and how do I get that onto a web page, a label, or a feed.

Before I was making campaigns, I was selling them at Faherty Brand, close enough to every catalog and product drop to see exactly what makes people come in and seek more. Now I build that side of it. As a creative designer at Of The North, I've done design for a range of Hawaii-based clients. Kona coffee, a beach shack famous for its banana bread, and a wellness center built on holistic growth.

I care about brands that are honest about where they come from and what they're made of. Projects that begin small but are destined to grow beyond their product and into a shared way of living.
