"When you make something no one hates, no one loves it." Tibor Kalman
byAMT Inc.
The first iteration of byAMT came into being soon after Alissia’s graduation from The Design Academy. While developing her own original projects, she also served a design residency at the renowned design consultancy IDEO and also briefly worked on staff at Puma International.
Alissia’s transcontinental background is reflected in her fluidity and fluency of her designs. Attuned to the latest design innovations, trends, and materials, she infuses her work with her own unique, charismatic personality and mischievous sensibility. Her products are savvy, sophisticated, and witty: the archetypal diamond ring rendered in candy-colored acrylic, ceramic plates folded in easy-to-hold shapes (Handful of Plates), a mirror that transposes the viewer’s face over an iconic image of feminine beauty (ME-ror). This uncanny ability to tweak expectations has delighted design cognoscenti and consumers alike.
