Hey, hello, hi.

Me - circa 1988.

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.

Raw, honest, and funny words from a 40-ish woman still figuring it out (because who isn't?).
