| About Me | Alisa is a thinker, maker, and doer with a knack for creative problem solving. Born in the forgotten generation between Gen Xers and Millennials, she is passionate about using technology to bring people together and make the world a better place. A true multidisciplinarian, Alisa loves flexing her skills in strategy, data analysis, writing, empathy, design, and development. She has spent the last 20 years teaching herself and others a variety of programming languages and knitting techniques. Alisa was previously the lead web developer at an award-winning design firm, and the chief technical officer of a nonprofit where she designed and built an industry-leading publication platform that drives its success. She found her calling to lift up those who use their power as a force for good and established Unity Digital Agency in 2016 to connect mission-driven technologists, designers, and strategists to the organizations who need them the most. A North Carolinian to the bone, Alisa was born and raised in the Triangle, has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Appalachian State University, a master’s degree in library and information science from UNC Chapel Hill, and ardently defends her preference for Lexington style bbq. She is a mom, wife, public speaker, open source evangelist, and judge for the SXSW Interactive Innovation Awards. |
