Alexis is a strategic facilitator, designer, educator and consultant who brings an unmatched energy and 20 years of experience to the design and delivery of transformative experiences for our clients. She believes that “the things that we learn, stick in our minds, and change our perspectives and behaviors come – not from a lecture but – from a moving, memorable experience. And every learning interaction we design or deliver should live up to that expectation.”

A resident of Saint Petersburg, FL, Alexis is an active community leader and changemaker for the Historic Kenwood Neighborhood Association, where she hosts a weekly radio/podcast show and is involved with a variety of community causes including neighbor engagement, support to local small businesses, public transportation, and neighborhood arts and beautification.

Alexis’ experience living, studying and working in over 40 countries makes her particularly adaptive to the diverse cultural backgrounds of our international clients. And her diversity of past work experiences – such as spending 3 years traveling with Cirque Du Soleil to onboard and supervise temporary employees – make her a natural connector and a master builder of lasting communities. 

Other highlights in her career include the design and delivery of educational experiences for clients at 2nd Road in Sydney and being the first Australia-based regional director for the LUMA Institute. Alexis has been a professor at Swinburne University in Melbourne and the IIT Institute of Design in Chicago, and an instructor with General Assembly and the LUMA Institute. She currently coaches cities participating in the Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Innovation Training programs.

Alexis holds a Masters of Design degree from the IIT Institute of Design in Chicago and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Logic from Smith College in Massachusetts. She has studied Industrial Design at Art Center College of Design in California and participated in Semester at Sea, volunteering in communities across Asia, Africa and South America.
