Hi, I’m Lisa Yvette, creator and founder of Creative Allure. Creative Allure began as a seed of inspiration that developed from my passion for art, drawing, and personal expression - and it all began with “That Red Dress” bookmarks collection in 2003. When I launched my first collection of bookmarks featuring young ladies wearing a variety of fashionable red dresses, they were designed to be over-sized bookmarks for avid readers. I wanted my business to be much more, so I began pouring my heart and soul into learning about pattern design, illustrating, and creating items that speak personally to each client. I love clean lines, vivid colors, and fun, playful patterns that make my customers feel warm, happy, and joyful. Although I pour my creative passion into every design and have pride in everything that I put my name on, my most popular collection is my Sisterhood Collection. This collection holds special meaning in my heart and in the hearts of my African American sisters across the globe. Throughout my career, I have consciously made the choice to create figures with blank faces, and this is for a very specific purpose. It allows observers of my art to envision themselves in my patterns and drawings. Today, my company is based in Oakland, CA, where I create and produce my artwork in my home studio. I am blessed to love what I do, and my goal is that each of my clients feels my passion for artistic expression with every product and design from Creative Allure.
