Hello! I'm Alanna

Hello! Self-written bios always seem to be painfully canned so I'll keep it simple: I'm an aspiring time-traveler (or simply trying to get back to 1970), and I like rainbows, dim sum, baseball, cotton candy, history, my dog, my cat, my husband and the endless magic and wonder of creating marvelous things. It is my greatest joy to build worlds out of thin air and develop them down to the most granular details, facilitating brief and whimsical escapes for every person my work reaches.

On the professional side of things, my background is in the CPG industry, heavily focused in adult consumables: brewing (beer & hard kombucha), coffee, cannabis, with stints in femtech and origins in the music industry.

​

I can thank my mom and my grandpa for most of my artistic influences, as I draw heavily from the stories, characters, music, and movements they introduced me to throughout my childhood. Some key influences on my work are: Lewis Carroll, Roald Dahl, Victor Moscoso, classic fairytales, midcentury counterculture, Norwegian folk tales, Tolkien, Ivo Caprino, Norman Rockwell, my mom's 1970s high school yearbooks (seriously), & Lee Conklin, to name a few. I'll tell you more over a large bowl of pasta.
