notion:creative:brains

aly anderson,

creative captain & hi-tech honey

Aly started a one-woman freelance design company in 2004 without any notion that it would grow into a full-fledged design studio in 2010. Her aesthetic mantra is "clean & simple" and her fascination with the uniqueness of each and every one of notion:creative's clients' stories is the secret ingredient in her designs. Her ear and eye for detail give her a beeline to her clients' brain; a decidedly un-creepy aesthetic clairvoyance. Aly enjoys refueling her creativity while puttering around the homestead she shares with her husband where she raises semi-famous domestic animals, concocts delicious edibles from scratch (some of which are in The Gluten Free Lab's cookbook), collects vintage buttons, and spends time with her husband when he's not out moonlighting as a gypsy guitarist.
