Hi there! I’m Allison Lumsden, a Brooklyn-based illustrator and graphic designer who blends digital and traditional techniques to bring brands and musicians to life. I studied B.S. Entertainment & Arts Management at Drexel University, with minors in Business Administration and Art History, which helps me balance creative vision with practical project management. I’m highly proficient in digital and physical illustration, visual brand conception, print media formatting and production, and social media content planning. I’m fluent in Adobe Creative Suite and Procreate, and I love turning ideas into print-ready and web-ready visuals. When I’m not freelancing, I run Awoke Vintage, a multi-location shop, and I craft custom hand-painted designs for Golden Goose at our Meatpacking location and pop-ups. I enjoy collaborating with artists, management, and venue staff to deliver fast, high-quality work. Past clients include King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, HaVay, Dashboard Confessional, Mokita, Sara Devoe, and Katrina Weissman. I’m always excited to take on new branding and illustration projects that tell a story.
