ABOUT ME

I’m Alli - a creative installer, signage designer, graphics technician, and logistics specialist based in Las Vegas.

After starting my career at Electric Forest 2017, I took any opportunity to learn event production. From pushing cases and picking trash to leading parking and stage crews, I’ve worked nearly every festival department from bottom to top.

I fell in love with visual communications through signage. As an installer for festivals like Bonnaroo and Lost Lands, I’ve learned the ins and outs of signage while applying my operations background to use signs as solutions. I’ve since expanded my practice to digital graphics in the world of A/V.

When I’m not at a convention center or festival site, I’m often snowboarding, traveling, starting DIY projects, or spending time with my cat, Prince.

MY WORK

Informed by my operations background, my approach to visual communication blends aesthetics and functionality. I balance the art of visual presentation with the science of crowd behavior to use graphics as tools to enhance guest experience.
