Hey there! Welcome to my portfolio! My name is Alexis and I am a creative digital marketing professional with a passion for user experience and graphic design.
I currently live in Boston, Massachusetts as I finish up my under graduate career at Northeastern University. Some of my hobbies include exploring new cities, finding the best brunch spots, testing new recipes, and scrolling through Pinterest looking for design inspiration.
In everything I do, I work to combine imagination, craft and technology into ideas to create impactful design that shape experiences and change perspectives.
