Ally (she/her) is a Connecticut based illustrator, surface pattern designer, and owner of Sunny Thought Studio LLC! She specializes in bright, groovy/retro illustrative artwork and pattern design.

Ally graduated with a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy, and has worked as a pediatric occupational therapist for almost 5 years! Her passion for art has always found its way embedded in working with her clients. After years of finding creative ways to help her clients be as independent as possible in everything they dreamed of doing, she realized she needed to do that for herself as well, which launched Sunny Thoughts Studio LLC!

Sunny Thoughts Studio was created with the intent on spreading compassion, positivity, and kindness. Ally created all the designs with a mission to encourage others to show compassion with a hope of creating a safe space where everyone feels accepted, welcomed, and able to express themselves. Life is just a little bit brighter when we can lean on each other for support! You can find her stickers, apparel, and prints on her Etsy shop, linked on this page.

Ally’s surface pattern collections are unique, with each collection holding a surprise message of positivity for the viewer to find and take with them on their journey through life. Ally has used many of the messages in her artwork to help her navigate the challenges of life, and hopes that they can be helpful for you as well as you grow and nurture your own safe space! Ally enjoys creating patterns for all ages, and has loved connecting her career as a pediatric Occupational Therapist with her passion for art by creating children’s collections.
