5 Questions with Alison Janssen

Get to know Alison Janssen, the designer of Sweet Beauties which is now arriving in stores. These cheery matte laminates are certainly making our days brighter.

Alison Janssen is a freelance illustrator and textile obsessed girl. Her roots are from the Midwest but she’s been happily soaking up the sun after relocating to Southern California with her family 12 years ago.

Before moving to SoCal, she had the pleasure of working at Hallmark Cards as an Art Director for 12 years. She’s also a Jayhawk from the University of Kansas, graduating with a bachelors of Arts… awhile ago.

She loves creating patterns, painting flowers & scheming new color palettes. And always, mixing up the classics with a bit of whimsical imperfection.
