- About
Through their small business Two Tree Studios, and education & network-building initiative The Level Up Project, Allison Eve Samuels believes “sustainable design” must go beyond material sourcing & waste management, and translate into a larger working ethos. Through both of these entities, Samuels is able to explore the complexities of building an evolving, values-driven art practice-as-business, holding accountable to their clients and community. Envisioning and building sustainable structures within their designs, organizing & production practices, collaborations, knowledge-sharing & wealth redistribution, are some ways Samuels strives to maintain a light footprint, while contributing to a more equitable future within their industry.
