Allison Kim Czerniak has had a passion for art and design for as long as she can remember. The San Francisco native with a fine arts background navigated the corporate jungle for many years, but decided in 2000 to take a leap to leave the 9 to 5 grind behind and reconnect with her true passion, jewelry design.

And alliway was born.

Alli’s approach to design is influenced by her extensive globetrotting as well as the everyday encounters of her surroundings. She’s traveled to Thailand, the Philippines, the Yucatan and Tahiti and incorporates the vivid colors and motifs of these lands into her designs. Nature, architecture, textiles are just a few of the many mediums that inspire her. Together with her keen eye and design instinct, Alli fuses these inspirations to create a jewelry collection that is fresh, charming, effortlessly chic and made for any woman.

Alli lives in Honolulu, Hawaii with her husband Steve and their two dogs Moki and Darwin. She continues to be stimulated by the colors and beauty of her environment and finds something new everyday. When she’s not designing, Alli can be found at the beach with the boys or cruising on their boat with a little vino and cheese.

alliway can be found in over 150 stores across the US, online at alliway.com or in Honolulu at Ward Warehouse.
