A LITTLE ABOUT ALECIA

I am a designer at heart and by trade – I live and breathe this stuff. I love design because I think it truly affects people in a real way. Our society is built on communication and we should strive to do it well.

When I'm not creating awesome work, I am seeking new adventures that take me away from the desk and on to my feet! I absoutely love living in DC because it allows me to try so many new things and it's full of fun people!

In short, feel free to reach out for design assistance, advice, or simply to chat because I welcome any and all opportunities to meet other wonderful people!
