Alli White, alias “Skirtzzz!” is an amazing freelance digital artist, focused on illustration that has used the internet as a tool to get her art out and get a lot of opportunities. She created her own small business giving her art as a service and leveraged many events to get more opportunities.
(Be sure to watch the video interview below!)
Alli White grew up in Idaho, in an area where illustration and art was not seen as the main thing to do, and she tried to do other careers just to find out that she wasn’t good at it and that she hated it, but thanks to the internet she was able to get her art to the world and find a lot of people who did not only loved her art, but also where willing to pay for it. We found her work at CTNX and decided to reach for a call.
