“My ability to sense the emotional connection between people and things, guided by my intuition and experience, sets me apart. As a deep seeker, I challenge myself to understand things better, investigate the deeper meaning of ‘why’ and see details where many don’t. Working with hundreds of business owners and corporate leaders, I know where to avoid creative investment and where to generate the best return on investment. My hope to to impart my knowledge on how design implementation can be looked from business perspective.”

Outside of the office, Alisa enjoys mountain & road biking, walks and talks, spiritual discussions, being in nature, baking chocolate chip cookies, designing new craft projects, organizing, windshield time and playtime with her nephews. While she has a zest for making the most of every moment and staying curious about things, her passion-driven personality shows up in every project she takes on. With 25+ years of building brands and helping businesses make smart decisions, she strives for success and works to stay empathetic to those who hire her.

“WELL DONE design is less expensive than bad design.” - Alisa
