Allie Lynch Ljubojevic @allbrighthouse An instant kingship and rhythm formed as soon as I met Allie. Warm and personable we could have talked for hours on end- and so we did! An entrepreneur in the art curation space, Allie has an incredible eye for detail and beautiful colour palettes. We transitioned with ease from one topic to the next, she is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to most projects around the house, or at the very least where to turn for inspiration & guidance.
