Alecia Lewis

Graphic/Web Designer

Arlington, VA, USA
I am a designer at heart and by trade -- I live and breath this stuff. I love design because I think it truly affects people in a real way. Our society is built on communication and we should strive to do it well.

When I'm not designing, (or reading design blogs) I am seeking new adventures that get me away from the desk and on my feet!

In short, I would love to connect with other great thinkers who will inspire me and ultimately further my career in design.
