about

Alexis is someone who builds with intention. She approaches strategy with a creative eye and shapes work with purpose. Her perspective has been shaped by experience across luxury beauty, media, and experiential brands—including work with Jenni Kayne–founded Oak Essentials and Modern Luxury—where she learned ho storytelling and clarity elevate brands beyond trends.

Grounded in a USC Annenberg education, Alexis values depth over speed and taste over excess. Outside of work, she’s deeply invested in movement and wellness, bringing discipline and consistency into everything she builds. She thrives in collaborative environments where ideas are sharpened and aesthetics matter. This site reflects her approach: intentional, elevated, and always evolving.
