HER STORY

There was a point in Allison’s life where she worked low end jobs, getting paid the bare minimum, and being told, directly and indirectly, that this was what her value looked like. fast. replaceable. back and forth walking from the apartment in the city to the job she once worked, this was her first introduction to the difference between being used and being encountered.

Shortly after, she would step into the world of finance and banking. Here, she learned how money shaped the world. She learned how decisions were made. How writing and influence created trust and dominance. Money isn’t emotional. It never was. It is structured. It is protected. It is intentional. The people who have it are not confused about what they’re doing, they are exact.

That alone shifted Allison.

But the world of copy and advisory is where everything broke open. Because that was the first time she was in rooms where her intellect was being recognized, People loved what she could do. They loved how she could think. They loved the clarity she brought. But at one point, there was no boundary around it.

So it was taken. Ideas moved without her name attached. Conversations happened using language sacredly built. Access was given, and then stretched. And at the same time, her personal life mirrored it perfectly. A relationship where she was present, but not fully valued. She remember sitting with that and realizing something that most people don’t say out loud, It simply just came to her:

“Be Encountered, Not Consumed.”

This statement would resonate globally with founders and brands sparking conversation, interest and a newer perspective within the world of fashion, marketing, sales, copy, business and branding. Allison now works alongside brands and founders helping them architect world class obsession amongst consumers that is precise, detailed and accurate.
