Alissa's body of work reflects the breadth of her experience on large, internationally prominent projects, as well as smaller commissions of all types.

She believes that one’s experience of architecture is inevitably subjective and often ephemeral, and that good design is like Goldilocks’ “just right.” Alissa believes that comfort and delight are the qualities that stand the test of time; her ultimate objective is to create environments where the user feels effortlessly accommodated to the purpose of the space, no matter the size or function.
