Bio
Mickey Desai
I've known Allan for a long time. I've always known Allan was frightfully smart, has a wicked and wry wit, and is just a fun fellow. In recent years I came to learn of Allan's creative talents, both as a writer and a designer. He has a mastery of the written word, bending it to fill any intent. And his tastes in his visual designs are simple and effective. If you have the chance to work with Allan, take it, and take the time to get to know him. You'll end up spending some good time laughing as the work gets done.

Allan is a fierce advocate for his clients, working within our organization and with outside entities to make sure they are being well served. He is talented and ambitious and always a pleasure to work with.

Apr 2020 - Nov 2021
After more than a decade in corporate design, the time had (finally) come to start freelancing full-time. Then other people liked the idea so they started showing up more often, and the next thing you know we had a brand, a logo, a project manager, and a client relations manager. I get to do something that I'm passionate about, that I enjoy, and that allows me to work with a variety of clients from all over, allowing me to achieve a boyhood dream of wandering the world.
