She kick-started her career as a fashion editor at Refinery29, and from there continued to write for leading digital platforms including Harper’s Bazaar, Fashionista, The Zoe Report, Byrdie, and CNN.

She’s sold through a clothing collab with Petite Studio in a matter of days, designed a line of sunglasses with Aperçu, as well as held the role as curator for boundary-pushing retail experiences Re:Store (a permanent store in San Francisco for shopping Instagram brands IRL) and SO MAJOR, a retail experience that hosts indie or digitally native brands in rotating pop-ups. She now holds the role of Director of Partnerships for EMCEE, a new online sales channel where influencers are retailers.
Alyssa has collaborated with a range of prestigious brands including Gucci, Prada, Shopbop, Moda Operandi, Farfetch, Salvatore Ferragamo, Miu Miu, and Marc Jacobs (just to name a few!), but also prides herself on championing emerging, indie designers on the regular. Alyssa currently offers consulting services to a range of fashion and lifestyle brands and startups, including guidance on product design, marketing, and business development.
She recently relocated to Los Angeles after a decade in New York City, and has some exciting projects in the works in the realm of e-commerce.
