Hello, I am Allison.
I am a curious observer and avid traveler born in Chicago and now studying in New York City. As an empathy-driven UX designer who loves tackling challenging problems, I have a knack for crafting intuitive experiences through qualitative user research.
I study Integrated Design & Media at New York University. I am passionate about bridging the junction between emerging technology, aesthetics, and human behavior.
In my free time, I love daydreaming of backpacking trips, analyzing passersby in the park, building Legos, and reading Kazuo Ishiguro.
You can reach me on LinkedIn or via ohallison5@gmail.com.

in a nutshell
Chillin with bambi in Nara, Japan! 🦌
There is nothing I value more than the the commitment to lifelong learning and personal growth.
Traveling solo has not only taught me to be resilient and adaptable but also enriched my understanding of diverse perspectives, directly influencing my approach to design, technology, and understanding human behavior. The photos below are little windows into my experiences and the vast, colorful landscapes of learning I've traversed.
As I stand on the cusp of graduating and stepping into a world brimming with opportunities, I bring with me a tapestry of experiences gleaned from the corners of the globe, ready to infuse innovation and thoughtful design into my professional endeavors.
For my spring break I traveled to Morocco on a yoga retreat… that’s one happy camel! 🐪
