Hi!

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

Welcome to Artistry & Aprons, my little corner of the internet where storytelling, creativity, and adventure come together.

If you had asked me ten years ago what my dream job was, I would have told you I wanted to work in film. That dream brought me from my hometown of Cheshire, Connecticut, to New York City, where after graduating from Hofstra University I joined the incredible team at Phosphene. Ten years later, I work as a Visual Effects Supervisor, helping filmmakers bring ambitious stories to life. I've had the privilege of contributing to projects including The Devil Wears Prada 2, Maestro, Tick, Tick... Boom!, In the Heights, and Netflix's The Four Seasons.

As much as I love the world of film, I've learned that my creativity doesn't stop when I leave set.

Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with the outdoors.

What started as a few weekend hikes gradually turned into backpacking trips, national parks, wildlife photography, and adventures around the world. I discovered the joy of planning trips almost as much as taking them, and found that some of life's most meaningful moments happen far away from cell service, standing on a mountain summit at sunrise, or sharing stories around a campfire after a long day on the trail.

Photography naturally became an extension of those experiences. I'm a professional wildlife and landscape photographer who loves capturing the places and moments that make me stop in my tracks. Not because they're perfect, but because they remind me how incredible our world really is.

Artistry & Aprons was born from the realization that I didn't have to choose between my passions. Film, photography, travel, design, writing, and education all tell stories in different ways, and this space allows me to share each of them under one creative roof. Whether I'm designing a brand, illustrating a children's book, creating travel guides, or documenting a backpacking trip, my goal is always the same: to create something that inspires curiosity and encourages others to explore, create, and dream a little bigger.

Giving back has always been just as important to me as creating. I currently serve as Vice President of Theresa's Battleship Foundation, where I help organize fundraising efforts that support pediatric cancer research. It is a mission that is deeply personal to me and one that continually reminds me of the incredible impact a community can have when people come together for something bigger than themselves.

At the end of the day, I simply love telling stories and meeting the people who make those stories worth telling.

Some stories are found on film sets. Others begin on mountain trails, around campfires, in small cafés halfway around the world, or in conversations with complete strangers who quickly become friends. Whether through film, photography, books, design, or travel, my hope is to create work that encourages curiosity, celebrates our incredible world, and reminds us that the best adventures are often the ones we share with others.

Create. Explore. Inspire.

That's the philosophy behind Artistry & Aprons and the thread that connects everything you'll find here.

Thank you for being here. I hope you'll stay awhile.

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!
