WHO WE ARE AT LILACS ON YORK
Lilacs on York Creative Studios exists to support equity-centered individuals and organizations in telling compelling stories, finding and engaging human connections and generally being their best. Lilacs on York was formed in 2010 as a project focusing solely on graphic design. In the ten years since then, the full-time work of our Founder/Principal, Alison K. Mason has grown the scope and capacity of this boutique design and communication firm. We cater our work to equity-centered individuals and organizations because it gives us the opportunity to draw the right people into the critical work that the world needs: beauty, access, and justice. We work with clients to craft beautiful, distinctly personal solutions… solutions that move them forward.
We do this via three main avenues:
- Graphic design & communication strategy (branding & design, visual & written storytelling and communication strategy)
- Creative Retreats for Entrepreneurs

- Communicate well and prioritize being easy to work with
- Prioritize diversity and constantly have an eye towards equity
- Value honesty & integrity
