Alyson Fox

About Alyson

• Didn't take any art classes in high school; focused on athletics, ran track for Florida State.
• Realized she was running from something; had a breakdown, quit track, reevaluated her interests.
• Took an art class as an elective and says "it just stuck"; changed her major soon after.
• Originally hated drawing because she felt that everything had to look a certain way.
• Stopped worrying about drawing things perfectly and found her own style; drawing became her favorite medium.
• Had a corporate job that allowed her to be creative, but within set parameters.
• Realized if she wanted to be happy, she'd have to quit and devote herself to making, creating for herself.
• After her big break on Design*Sponge, she finally felt comfortable calling herself an "artist."
