Alissa moves fluidly between visual art and music, collaborating with musicians on album art, posters, vinyl packaging, videos, titles, and merch. She’s also produced exhibitions, hosted radio shows, and worked on record releases, supporting both local artists and larger projects.

Over the past decade, Alissa has worked with music festivals, non-profit galleries, theatre companies, radio stations, and independent artists. She’s passionate about keeping art spaces sustainable and accessible. Her current work explores how music venues and nightlife environments can shape collective experience and foster solidarity, especially within local, DIY-driven communities.
