"In a busy design studio with tight deadlines and quick turn-around times Lexi's ability to move fluidly between a variety of projects is invaluable. She wears many hats and is willing to take on tasks from proofing marketing copy, and researching new initiatives to synthesizing information for presentations. Lexi's readiness to learn motivates her, and keeps me returning for support."

"I had the privilege of working with Lexi while at LCO, a public relations firm based in Beverly Hills. She and I were paired together to assist with several events involving high profile clients including preparation of the venue, creating and editing guest lists, and follow up after the event. Lexi was always a person I could count on and had fantastic ideas that were well thought out and organized. She is a force to be recognized and I would feel privileged to work with her again."
