Outside of work, you can find Alyssa chasing mountain bike trails, throwing clay on the pottery wheel, or adventuring with her family, always looking for the next opportunity to create, connect, or get a little muddy. She believes that good work, like good art, is about being present, intentional, and just a little bit brave.
