Hi! My name is Alexis LeeAnn Joseph.
I am a User Experience Designer, Art Director, and Visual Artist residing between the Bay Area and Los Angeles, California. Inspired by Memphis design, Africana color palettes, and bold, diverse patterns, my graphic design and artwork celebrate my proud Africana and Central American heritage, blending cultural influences into every piece.
Through my multidisciplinary design approach, I merge branding, motion design, and emerging technologies to create experiences that are not only user friendly but also visually compelling and socially impactful. Whether working on UX research, brand campaigns, or interactive experiences, I’m passionate about leveraging design as a tool for connection, innovation, and empowerment.
With a strong foundation in human centered design, I specialize in designing adaptive UI, data driven interfaces, and AI integrated experiences that enhance usability and engagement. Proficient in Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Sketch, I bring concepts to life through wireframing, prototyping, and high fidelity designs that bridge functionality with visual storytelling.
My artwork is inspired by nature, bold patterns, femininity, and the beauty of diverse hair textures. Through my paintings, I explore themes of mindfulness and healing while uplifting the beauty of Black and Brown communities. Much of my early inspiration comes from my mother, a hairdresser, whose studio introduced me to the beauty of diverse hair textures. Watching my mother transform and uplift women through hairstyling, I sought to replicate that same beauty and empowerment in my art. This influence is especially present in my series My Skin My Logo, which features wooden cutouts of women with curly hair, each representing a unique persona.
My artistic journey is deeply rooted in community empowerment and storytelling, creating pieces that invite reflection, pride, and connection. I am inspired by my Afro Latina (Honduran and Guatemalan) background, using my work to bring cultural awareness and empowerment while showcasing the importance of African culture and influence in Latin America.
