ABOUT US
How It All Began
Founded by Hayley Higgins in 2009 with the goal of being a different kind of design company, Allovus grew from the desire to provide creative and technical individuals with opportunities that allow them to have a work/life balance. We still believe that, and we work hard as a team to support our number one asset; our people.
These are the values that guide us.
AUTHENTICITY
Bring your whole self.
COLLABORATION
Built on trust, made for partnership.
OPTIMISM
Joy is a strategy.
INTEGRITY
Do the right thing, always.
MAGIC
Create with heart, leave a spark.
Allovus For All
Allovus is a woman-owned equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive and creative environment. Hayley’s mission for Allovus has remained the same as the company has grown: to treat people with respect and care. Staying true to these values ensures that Allovus employees produce meaningful work, create strong community connections, and inspire delight in our clients.
We’re a vibrant mix of curious minds, passionate hearts, and hopeful spirits — humans who care deeply about shaping a better future together.
We look for people who bring who they are to what they do. Diversity isn’t a checkbox for us; it’s the heartbeat of great design. When different voices come together, we create work that’s thoughtful, inclusive, and truly resonant.
We invite those who think differently, feel deeply, love boldly, and work with purpose.
