Allison Skinner at her home office

Hi! I’m Allison Skinner. I run a creative studio in Athens, GA. I’ve been providing design, develolpment and technology services for clients across the country since 2016.

How it Started

While studying at the University of Georgia, I began creating basic html websites for journalism projects. I pulled my first all-nighter in college while creating one of these websites and I realized that I loved web design and development way more than what I was “officially” studying at UGA. After I graduated, I got hired at a marketing agency. I designed and developed dozens of websites at the agency, but it wasn’t the right fit. I kept exploring side projects and it became a conflict. I left agency life in 2016 and went independent. In the five years since (as of 2021) I have worked with dozens and dozens of businesses and I have built many, many websites. I really love the work I do and the people I work with.

Athens, GA Life

Athens has been my home since childhood. My family and I moved here when I was 8 years old from Iowa. I went on to study and graduate from UGA and now I call it my forever home! When I was younger I thought I’d move far away, but I love my job, I love my family and I love my community here. I travel and then come back home! My partner Jeff and I renovated an aframe in 2017 and that’s where we live with our three pugs (Teddy, Pepper and Cooper). Yes — three pugs. My parents also have a pug and so does my grandma. We looooove pugs. In 2020, my parents opened Athentic Brewery in the normaltown neighborhood of Athens, GA. If you ever visit Athens, please stop by my family’s brewery! The beer is amazing.

Other Things

I love reading! I post book reviews on my instagram (check out my highlights). I love getting out of the house and going to yoga at Fuel Hot Yoga and small group training at Total Training Center. My partner Jeff works in the movie industry in Atlanta which is forever fascinating to me. I don’t have a car because I’ve never liked driving. I grow tomatoes every summer.
