I am Allison …

And here’s how the story goes.

It’s 2003.

I graduate from the University of Montevallo with a BFA and score a job at an art supply store around the corner from iiis.

I meet Kris and somehow (.and..thankfully.) this gal from North Alabama grabbed her attention.

She kept a close eye on me for several months until one rainy afternoon asked for a meeting.

We sat on the wooden steps leading to her office.

She asked: “what do you know about optical.?”

16 years later and here we are.
