Still slapping graphics together in Canva and hoping for the best?

Why do that when you could hire an expert who will save you money, increase your impact, and elevate your brand in far less time than you’ve spent looking at Canva templates.

I don’t make things “pretty.”
I make them matter.

Hi. I'm Alexa.

I’m more than a bold, innovative designer — I’m a strategist who brings ten years of nonprofit experience to every project.

How many designers do you know who have professional experience in communications, fundraising, marketing, event planning, digital advertising, operations, and even audit compliance? You wouldn’t believe how helpful it is to have someone with that experience on your Slack channel.

Quotation Marks

Alexa is both incredibly professional and very fun to work with! She intuitively understands clients' needs and effectively guides non-designers toward a creative brand and design that they may have lacked the words to describe. Alexa checks so many of my organization's boxes — she is speedy, has expertise on accessibility requirements, collaborates well, and produces polished deliverables.

To make a lasting impact, you need to make a strong first impression — and build on that momentum.

Effective design isn't optional in 2026.
Let this be the year you level up. 

Print Products

In a world of digital marketing, there’s something special about seeing your brand in physical form. Print engages audiences differently than digital because it creates a more personal, memorable impact through tactile experience, with the paper finish and weight communicating as much about your brand as the

visual design and content.

Whether palm cards or business cards, bifolds or trifolds, gate folds or map folds, I will propose the best product to achieve your goals. I offer events packages as well, including digital graphics, signage, and program books.

The Box & Beyond

Need something outside the box? Or even a box itself? I've designed bus ads, trailer panels, and even restaurant wraps. From wall murals to marketing swag to product packaging, I'll lead the charge on developing the design, working with printers, scheduling installers, and approving proofs. You dream it, I'll design it.

Training

I’m a strong believer that anyone can learn how to recognize and create great graphic design. Whether you want your staff to understand graphic design basics, gain a firm grasp of branding, or learn strategic design on the job, I can help.

Digital Design

While I do love print, digital is just as important—whether designing for social media, presentations, email graphics, or ads, I have vast experience in all the quirks and possibilities of working in a purely virtual design space. 

 

Experts say you only have 2.2 seconds to make a digital impression — let's make those seconds count.

Publications

Know the best way to keep people reading your lengthy publication? Make every page something special. Sure, a template will be much faster than custom layouts, but people’s eyes tire and attentions wander when every page looks the same. Your content is important—I can help ensure your audience actually reads it. 

Art Direction

Do you have a brand bodyguard? You need one.

 

As your art director, I'll keep a birds eye view of all visual projects, ensuring that your mission and vision are communicated consistently and powerfully across all platforms. I'll manage design projects from concept to execution and distribution, protecting your brand, elevating your message, building momentum, and ultimately increasing your impact.
