get to know me!
Hey! I’m Allie Atkinson, a designer, creative thinker and lover of all things mountain life.
I’ve been lucky to call BC home for nearly a decade, with Whistler as my backyard. Being surrounded by mountains, forests and endless coffee spots keeps me constantly inspired, and that energy always finds its way into my work. I love creating designs that not only look great but feel meaningful. Work that connects with people and tells a story that sticks.
I have an advanced diploma in Graphic Design and hands-on experience working in the industry, where I’ve had the chance to bring brands to life through thoughtful, creative work. My background in hospitality has also helped build strong communication and problem-solving skills that naturally carry over into my design work. Whether I’m building a brand, designing a campaign or creating visual content, I love crafting work that connects with people and leaves an impact.
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me hiking with my dog Archie, chasing sunsets, grabbing a beer, or exploring new corners of this community! I’m always up for meeting new people, swapping ideas, and seeing where creativity takes us.
