I was born and raised in Sylvania, OH and have always had a huge passion for the arts, really any medium I could get my hands on. I began graphic design in high school, where I took a class on it and was able to practice my skills on the yearbook committee. After high school, I studied graphic design at Ohio University of Athens, OH and graduated with my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree. While attending Ohio U, I started a small business online where I could promote and sell my art – alyviart.com. Since then, I have worked with Kendall Rae True Crime on YouTube and many other small businesses in Sylvania and Toledo.
Some of my favorite things to do include traveling, being outside, playing pickle ball, sewing, and spending time with my fiance, Jon, and my daughter, Vera.
