Nice to meet you.

I'm Alyssa, an art director/creative director based in Brooklyn, NY.

After five or so years of working as a writer and editor across various newsrooms, I pivoted into the world of advertising when I saw REI’s Opt Outside campaign and it changed my point of view completely. Advertising isn’t just how newsrooms and big brands make money — it can be something so much more. It can create a moment in culture that can change lives, sparks conversation and shifts perspectives. 

And I want to do that.

I started my creative career with an internship that turned into a full-time role at the very agency that created REI’s Opt Outside campaign. 

Over the last 8+ years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with my creative partner in building campaigns for iconic brands like the NBA, Beats, Meta, Audi and many more.
