THE WAY THROUGH
Hi, I'm Alexis.
A SMALL PLACE TO START
Bring your questions.
Especially the weird ones.
Open a note. Follow a thread. See where it takes you.
A little more directionFOR INDEPENDENT MINDS & THE BUSINESSES THEY BUILD
The stories you tell over coffee. The things you collect. The questions that follow you home. There are clues in all of it. Off Script gives you a way to notice them, make sense of them, and turn them into a clear creative direction.
THE FIELD GUIDE / FOUR CHAPTERS
Take a look inside.
CHAPTER 01 / THE HUMAN PART
Before choosing colors or writing a clever introduction, get curious about the person behind the work. Your experiences, contradictions, and obsessions are useful material.
A story map: the experiences, values, and questions that make your work yours.
In the margins of this chapter…
Follow a prompt before deciding what it means.
Highlight the words, memories, and ideas with a little charge.
Ask a trusted person for a specific story about you.
Curiosity first. Editing comes later.
Each chapter brings together writing, a real-world experiment, a focused worksheet, and space to reflect.
A NOTE FROM YOUR GUIDE
I’m a photographer, author, and former classroom teacher. I’m drawn to people who surprise me, good questions, and a strong cup of coffee.
My work starts with listening. I look for the human story, the unexpected connection, the detail that makes everything else click.
Off Script brings that way of working into a course. I’ll help you ask better questions, recognize what matters, and make creative choices you can explain—and feel good about.
See you at the table,HOW WE’LL WORK
There’s room to follow your own thoughts, and room to bring them to someone who will listen closely.
All four chapters and worksheets, plus two group calls to compare notes, ask questions, and work through what you’re finding.
Everything at the shared table, plus four individual calls with me—one for each chapter—to shape the direction of your own work.
Want me in the studio with you?
Hands-on creative direction is an option, too.
Independent creatives, founders, and small business owners who want a clearer story and a more intentional way to show up. Bring a real project or business to work on, even if it’s still an idea.
You can start with curiosity. We’ll use writing, observation, conversation, and simple visual experiments. You’ll develop a direction you can use yourself or share with a designer, photographer, or creative collaborator.
You’ll work toward a story map, a clear point of view, a visual direction sheet, and a creative brief for your next project. Each one grows from your own work in the course.
The first cohort is taking shape. Dates and pricing will be announced when the course is ready. Join the waitlist for updates and an invitation when enrollment opens. Joining is free and doesn’t reserve or purchase a place.
THE NEXT GOOD THING STARTS SOMEWHERE.
Bring the ideas you can’t quite explain yet.
We’ll give them a little room.
First cohort in the making. Dates & pricing to come.
