Hey, hello, hi.
I’m Alexis—a Dutch-American writer from New York, currently living my best life in Amsterdam. By day, I’m a freelance content strategist and writer for tech, e-commerce, and lifestyle companies. On the side, I’m exploring personal essay and humor writing here on Substack, and I was recently published in HuffPost. When I’m not writing, you can find me on the padel court, traveling, or learning to draw and paint.
Selected work
Substack - Brownies (an essay about love, loss, and finding comfort in brownies)
Substack - I was a toothless teenager—here's how it shaped me
HuffPost - I Had To Trick My Mom Into Assisted Living — And I Still Feel Guilty
More coming soon ✨
