She's fueled by Coke-Flavored Slurpees. Yes, for real.
Based near Tampa Bay, Florida, Allie's one of our senior designers. We'd say she's on the quiet side, but that would be grossly underestimating how skilled she is in the art of keeping a straight face. (She'll give a Zoom screen freeze a run for it's money). We think it's cause her smile is worth a million bucks, and we know she's got a good one because Jon gets her to crack one every 43.5 times he says something he thinks is funny. Speaking of thinking, she thinks of herself as a dog lover, but that was until she met Dolly who immediately put her in her place. Allie told us her design steeze was powered by caffeine to get the position, but then we found out it wasn't coffee, just frosty Coke-flavored Slurpees. But hey, if that's what makes her smile, we're totally down with that. (Even if we have to send her 7-11 gift cards on #beerfridays).
With over a decade of designing for the web, Allie's an ultra-amazing UX designer and illustrator that's been specializing in mobile platforms since mobile sites were in their diapers. Yeah, we heard mobile-first is important to you—don't sweat it, she's got this. With truckloads of experience working alongside national brands, she fuels her design work with those Slurpees we mentioned and an earful of what she claims are sweet tunes. We throw challenging design problems at her every minute of the day, and she's never failed to nail one yet. After all, she does have a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Central Florida. When she's not inhaling Slurpees, she's doing as much as she can in the outdoors, and rooting for her favorite soccer team. We even heard she smiles and makes a "wooooo" noise when they score, but we're waiting for video proof. We'll keep you posted.
