Allison Usavage – Ithaca, New York, USA

I build things & share stories. I have a special love for supporting food system changemakers. I grow food and flowers in our garden with my kids. I manage, organize, coordinate, document, facilitate, and connect. Nature is my playground.

Some things I'm proud of:

A short film I made about my favorite bakery was featured by National Geographic. (2012)
I produced an online magazine featuring stories of local changemakers to inspire engagement in our community. (2015)
I document agriculture and food research for Cornell CALS and teach researchers how to photograph their fieldwork. (2018→)
I support design teams through projects with high-profile clients such as Microsoft, Mirror, and Shopify. (2020→)
I spent 18 months working with a team of amazing moms to photograph recipes for a cookbook that connects families with nature. (2021)
We re-built a brand for this B-Corp food distributor to embody their commitment to good food with ecological, economic, and social impact. (2022)
I'm curating a show at Ithaca's CAP ArtSpace of artists who work in relationship with food resilience, equity, and health. (2024)
We're raising some cool kids. (∞)
