Featured Artist – ActualiDesign

My name is Ali, and I’ve been making and selling cards for about three years, now. The art– well, that started at an undetermined point in time. Sometime before I was old enough to keep track. Just recently, I’ve begun selling my products online, under my new brand, Actuali Design.

Obviously, art and crafting are huge hobbies of mine, but the givens aside, I play the piano. I started when I was 3, and now that I’m in high school, I continue to do so, and teach at the studio where I take my own lessons, as well. My other hobby, and the only one that can rival my love for art, crafts, and design, is writing. If you know what NaNoWriMo is, you’ll understand why I actually look forward to the dreary month of November.

My favourite craft would have to be cardmaking– it’s the only one I do with any consistency! I love it because it’s so open. I can experiment in so many different ways. I can use ribbon, buttons, paper, fabric, findings, brads… The list goes on forever. The are just infinite possibilities. There isn’t one defined way to make a “card”. And I love that.
