Hello,

I’m Alexis

I’m a Connecticut native, an award-winning graphic designer, and a mom to two amazing girls. With over a decade in the publishing world, my designs have graced the pages of top magazines, and I’ve partnered with brands across the NYC Metro area to create captivating visuals. Beyond my professional life, I’m all about empowering my daughters with resilience, creativity, and humor.

Cooking and entertaining are my passions, which I joyfully share on this blog and with my online community (@cheeseandweim). I love exploring and reviewing local eateries and businesses, blending my design eye and mom insights to offer a unique take on the culinary sceneIn 2022, I took my kitchen adventures to the next level as a home chef contestant on Food Network’s Outchef’d, tackling each challenge with a smile. When I’m not designing or cooking, you’ll find me in the garden, tending to my chickens, or spending time with Portia, my Weimaraner and the inspiration behind my blog’s name. Welcome to my world of design, dishes, and day-to-day delights!
