We’re continuing our special summer series, hearing from entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives as they let us peek behind the curtain and learn more about what they do.

In this episode, I’m talking with Alison Glass, a fabric and pattern designer—and she’s a personal friend of mine. I’ve known her since the 7th grade, we lived together for two years in college, and we were each other’s maids-of-honor. You could say we go way back.

Alison—or Ali, as I call her—started fabric designing just a few years ago, but her work has seriously taken off. It’s been so fun for me as a friend to watch her metamorphosis into being the artist she always was inside, and how she’s sharing it with the world.

Her fabrics are beautiful, and if you love color, her aesthetic is just up your alley. I loved this conversation with my old friend. Listen to Alison and get ready to be inspired.
