Born in a suburb of St Louis, Alli grew up traveling the country. She was exposed to so much culture, it was difficult to pinpoint just exactly what she wanted to do when she grew up. She attended the Kansas City Art Institute for five years before getting her bachelors in Illustration. Her paper work reflects everything around her, her own collections and her favorite things. She currently lives in Merriam, Kansas with the love of her life and two pit bulls, and she still doesn't know what she wants to do when she grows up.
