Process

Allison is very diligent in the details and processing of every piece that is designed and produced. Thorough and informed research is the pivotal point which leads to ideation and 2D to 3D formation of an idea of a potential product. Silhouettes are of essence as well as the details and refined finishes that are considered along each stage of the sampling and prototyping stage.
