Hi!

I'm Alexis, and I'm so glad you're here!

Welcome to Artistry & Aprons! My little pocket of the world where all of my passions converge under one creative roof. I wanted to share a little about myself and the exciting journey I've been on. Originally from the charming town of Cheshire, Connecticut, I discovered my love for film at an early age, dreaming of a career in the industry. This passion led me to the vibrant heart of cinematic creativity—New York City. After graduating college at Hofstra University, I completed a fellowship at the wonderful VFX studio, Phosphene and fell in love with the people and work. Ten years later, I’m proud to say I’m still with Phosphene as a Visual Effects Supervisor and have had the opportunity to leave my mark on incredible projects like "The Devil Wears Prada 2," "In The Heights," "Tick, Tick, Boom," "Maestro" by Bradley Cooper and Netflix's "The Four Seasons".

But life is not all about the fast paced world of visual effects for me. I find inspiration in creativity and the outdoors, especially through hiking, photography, and travel. Over the past few years, I have fallen deeply in love with planning trips and discovering the magic of backcountry camping. There is something so special about unplugging, chasing wide open views, and sharing those moments with the people I love.

What truly makes my heart full is my commitment to giving back. I currently serve as Vice President of the The Theresas Battleship Foundation , where I help bring together communities through fundraising efforts that support pediatric cancer research. It is a cause that is incredibly close to my heart and one that continues to shape so much of who I am.

Somewhere between film sets, mountain trails, and meaningful moments with others, I have found a life that feels both creative and full. Thank you for being here and for being a part of it.

With Love,

PS. I think it’s important to note that I would not be where I am without the dozens of people that took time to respond to me and answer my millions of questions along the way so I invite you also, if you are curious or looking for guidance in the industry, to please reach out and I’m happy to help in any way I can!

The Theresas Battleship Foundation provides funding for the laboratory research and clinical trials program within the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. All monies raised have gone 100% to this cause. The Theresa’s Battleship Foundation has hosted several fundraisers including basketball tournaments, galas, organized runs, walks and relays, sent hundreds of cards to pediatric cancer patients, presented at events, made new friends and grown the battleship community more than we ever thought possible. As of May, 2025 we have now surpassed 1.5 million dollars raised!
