  • Finding Your Creative Community with Illustrator Allyson Wilson

    Allyson Wilson is a graphic designer, beautifully talented illustrator, and of course a mom. She’s been in the graphic design business for over 12 years, based in the Pittsburgh area with her husband and 2 children, ages 5 and 2. She believes in always finding that silver lining in all situations, and you’ll hear her story about how that silver lining became a huge artistic opportunity that changed her career path. I hope you’ll be inspired and encouraged by Allyson to find your creative mom community and really get connected.

  • Designing, Printing and Being Your Own Boss with Adena Rasure

    Designer, Printer, Mom and Entrepreneur,  Adena Raben. 

    This episode was extra fun because I got to interview an old friend I went to college with.  Adena was raised in a family who loves and appreciates art, so she attributes her love for creating to her family. She is a wife, mother and entrepreneur, and graduated from USI with an Art Degree/Graphic Design emphasis.

    Adena started her business in 2013, a year before graduating. She’s been freelancing since before graduation in 2014 and couldn’t see herself doing anything else. 

    Her freelancing includes a few different facets; web work, print, branding.. she loves to paint, draw, build, create... She has a few Etsy stores she runs alongside freelancing. 

    “I recently finalized my trademark for Rasure Prints tagline, Embrace the Detours, and I live by this while trying to create and raise my little one.” - Adena
