Alexandra's interest in art and design started as a child when she attended the Portland School of Art (predecessor to MECA) to study painting, design and printmaking. That interest continued through high school and into college in Virginia. Her academic experience includes drawing, design, photography, broadcasting, creative writing and screenprinting. Realizing that she could actually "starve as a fine artist", she switched to graphic design and the printing industry. Experience is a great teacher, so over the years she has expanded her skills to include corporate public relations, advertising and event planning, competitive intelligence, and small business marketing. She is versed in Adobe CS4 - Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Acrobat.
