About the Name
When Alison first began freelancing while in grad school, she wanted to give her business a name that would be broader than just her given name so that it could grow beyond herself. She also wanted to give it a name that could serve as an umbrella for her many creative passions.
While still working on choosing a name, a professor shared that the name of her design firm was a combination of the street names that bordered her home.
Alison instantly loved the idea of incorporating something so personal into a business venture. A few days later, she was driving and saw a large bunch of lilac bushes on the side of the highway and remembered the two lilac bushes in the backyard of the house she grew up in that she’d loved as a child. She immediately connected that to the idea about using a street name. Since she grew up on W. York street, she combined the two and Lilacs on York was born.
