Testimonials
“Alexia’s art is top notch! She has been an absolute pleasure to work with and understands what we are saying even when we don’t feel like we are capable of getting our vision into words. If it weren’t for her, our festival would not have the aesthetics it has today! She makes the entire process exciting and fun! ”
