hey

there

I'm Allie!

A WATERCOLOR ARTIST, STATIONER, DOG LOVER, AND HOBBY HOMESTEADER LIVING IN A LOG HOME NESTLED IN BEAUTIFUL WISCONSIN.

Where it all began

My creative journey started as a little girl with my favorite drawing subject: Dogs. Through the years, my passion for creating led me to pursue a degree in Graphic Design. Ultimately, it has led me to take a leap of faith and follow my dream of running my own creative business. 30 years later, I find myself in my home studio incredibly grateful being able to design wedding invitations for couples from all over and painting the cutest dogs (and cats!). The journey has been challenging, but SO worth it. I love what I do everyday.

Windswept Design Studio is named after my grandparentsʼ farm. Nestled in a small Wisconsin town, their farm will always hold a special place in my heart and is the inspiration behind my natural, organic approach to design & love for a simple homesteading life. So much of me is made up from this special place and the memories created there. It seemed only fitting to name my studio after their farm and it is my hope to share with you this piece of my heart through my love for creating.

I’m just a tad bit obsessed with dogs, love spending time in nature while fly fishing and gardening. I also have a big passion for teaching watercolor and helping artists turn their talents into their dream business.
