Alison Engstrom is the founder, principal photographer, and editor of ROSE & IVY, a growing intentional lifestyle platform for women telling original stories across style, design, travel, and women in TV, film, and music. 

Alison has an insatiable interest in individuals who follow their dreams. The catalyst behind this passion was when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2014. At the time she was working a passionless corporate job where an MS treatment facility happened to be located. She saw the varying impacts of the disease on women her age, from wheelchairs to walkers, and she knew that she had to take a chance and pursue her dreams of living a creative life. She knew she could be defined by her new reality or defy it and inspire others in the process. She started ROSE & IVY, a platform that incorporated her love of design, travel, and lifestyle, and eventually began profiling women in TV and film. ROSE & IVY is now a go-to source for authentic and inspiring storytelling.
