Allison Horner, Brand Designer
Hi, my name is Allison. I'm an artist, illustrator, and educator based in the Midwest. I create artwork to tell stories, bridge cultures, and create memories. I work on a wide range of projects: from public art and branding for startups to picture books for children. I also teach drawing and design at Ivy Tech Columbus.
Favorite book(s) as a kid: I was most drawn to book filled with magical stories and intricate illustrations, particularly of animals. I loved The Mitten by Jan Brett and The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base. Other favorites were Where the Wild Things by Maurice Sendak; Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown; and the DK Eyewitness picture encyclopedias.
How she connected to Morgensterns: I had designed a cover for Rick's book, The Male Manifesto.
What's on her nightstand: A lamp, lip balm, a bookmark, and the Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishigura.
When she's not working: My favorite thing to do is draw, which I am lucky enough to do for a living. I also enjoy walks, cooking, travel, day-dreaming, and reading.
At the Morgensterns cafe: When the café opens, I will seek out a coffee. And then another. And another.
