Alessa Lewis

Multi-disciplinary designer Writer Researcher Collaborator

I'm Alessa (she/her), a multidisciplinary, multi-ethnic creative from London. I have experience as a researcher, writer, and co-creator on design projects like installations, graphic novels, web apps, and staged theatre. The work I do combines scriptwriting, geographical research, and liberatory design methods to create immersive and participatory experiences that invite people to expand their perspectives. I want to tell stories in all formats that are playful, decolonial, and full of community for marginalised voices. I am looking for opportunities to collaborate, and develop my skills in dramaturgy, writing, directing, and scenic design.
