Allison Chen is a product and visual designer for innovative teams.

I started this creative practice to spend most of my time thinking about things I really care about.

Turns out, I care about a lot of things.

The things I'm most interested in working on nowadays look something like:

• Learning something new while growing at something else
• Collaboration in all its forms, from a good conversation to making something together
• Helping a promising product or idea become something people understand and want to use
• Finding the patterns underneath a messy problem, then figuring out what to do next
• Following an idea all the way through, from the first question to the details that make it work

All these things have taken me across product, brand, and visual design, working with in-house teams, agencies, startups, and larger organizations. I like developing a point of view, trying things out, and letting what we learn change the work.

I'm currently based in New York, where I've (mostly) lived for the last decade.
