Alli K Design started as a happy accident. After graduating college and struggling to find a job, I began creating art pieces for my new apartment. Friends and family loved my work and consistently wanted to buy whatever I made. With no luck on the job hunt, I decided to pursue my art full-time.
Since then, my career as an artist has flourished—from starting out designing luxury wedding invitations and hand-painted jackets to now painting multiple murals a week, landing dream collaborations, and having my books sold worldwide. While I've had the privilege of working with incredible companies and gaining national recognition, my favorite part of my job is still traveling the world or drawing from my bed while cuddling with my cat.
