about me.
Hi, I’m Alexis! A multi-disciplinary creative based in Michigan with a BA in Graphic Design and a minor in Business from SVSU. After graduating, I spent several years working in video production while earning specialized certifications to refine my expertise.
As of early 2025, I serve as Co-Owner and Creative Strategist for a startup marketing company based in Metro Detroit. In this role, I lead marketing strategy, website management, print design, content creation, and brand development for local businesses across the service, restaurant, and hospitality industries. I specialize in building cohesive, high-impact brand presences across digital and physical platforms, and I thrive in fast-paced environments where adaptability, creative problem-solving, and execution are essential to driving engagement and growth.
With a professional journey that began at 16, I am deeply passionate about being a creator. My colleagues describe me as hardworking and versatile, and I am driven to continuously learn, adapt, and push creative boundaries. I approach each project with a strategic mindset, blending collaboration, logical thinking, and creativity—all of which reflect my authentic dedication to the craft.
One of the aspects of my career I am most proud of is my commitment to mentoring students, inspired by the mentorship I received early on. I was fortunate to participate in a Career Field Experience program in high school, which directly shaped the career path I follow today. Since graduating college, I have returned to my high school multiple times each year to provide guidance, demonstrations, and real-world insight to students entering the same program. I am especially proud that my business now serves as an Industry Advisor on the Macomb County Regional CTE Advisory Board for TV & Radio Broadcast Network, where we actively mentor high school students pursuing careers in the arts.
