My name is Ally and I was raised in Colorado by two artistic parents. My mother is a graphic designer, an artist, and a painter. My father is a writer, bass player, and former music reporter. I have played music for the majority of my life and I have been designing things on a computer since our first was brought into my childhood home.  I have always believed that good design is the key to making people care about something. Maybe being born deaf and growing up hard of hearing had something to do with it, but that didn't stop me from wanting to play the saxophone. As a young student, I attended Denver School of the Arts and graduated from the University of Colorado, before moving to New York City in 2015.
