Hey, y’all!
My name is Allison.
The Lily part comes from my favorite flower, and also the name of my cat (I’m not a crazy cat lady, I swear. I also have a pit bull). From time to time, I wish Lily was my actual name, so as to not completely bring dishonor to my family, I stylize it as Allison Lily.
I was born and raised in Austin, Texas –– which makes me feel rarer than a unicorn in this day and age.
I honed my craft in meme-making, content creation, product photography, social media advertising, and copywriting (to name just a few) over the last 5 years working for a company called Texas Humor––a social media account and online store dedicated to all the hilarious aspects of the Lone Star State. Maybe you’ve followed along on Instagram, exhaling sharply through your nose while scrolling through your feeds at work during a 45-minute-long meeting that was only supposed to take 10, tops (It really CAN be accomplished in an email, trust me). Or you have no idea what I’m talking about, and need to do a little internet sleuthin’ (here, I made it easy for ya).
Either way, Texas Humor was my home for many Neon Moons. I wore a ton of different ten gallon hats and gained experience in a ton of different facets of an e-commerce company. Along with content creation, copywriting for product descriptions and email campaigns, plus social media management, I also helped manage the online store, launching everything from sales to new product lines. You name it, I’ve done it (or at least dabbled). Creating and curating content, along with writing copy for the website, emails, and social media posts were far and away my favorite parts of my job.
My portfolio is here to showcase my favorite creations and writings from over the years, and to highlight some of the mixed media I’ve gotten to partake in. Hopefully you’ll have some laughs along the way––or at least exhale sharply through your nose while you’re here.
Oh, and if you happen to be Matthew McConaughey reading this, I hope you think my website looks alright, alright, alright.
