Hey you!

I’m Alexis Monette—a creative leader, life coach, AI technologist, and multidisciplinary storyteller with a decade of experience turning big ideas into even bigger moments.

Some key things about me:

  • Created campaigns for over 30 global brands across beauty, tech, automotive, spirits, and entertainment—from Maybelline NY and Disney to Ford, Samsung, and Nintendo. My work lives at the intersection of culture, emotion, and clarity—built to resonate while they perform.

  • Live and breathe for creativity in all forms: digital, experimental, or traditional. I’m always pushing the boundaries to create campaigns that feel alive, personal, and relevant. There’s nothing I love more than collaborating with other creatives, helping them shape their ideas, bring their vision to life, and tackle challenges head-on.

  • Lead with vision, collaborate with care, and bring deep range, from directing global productions to prototyping with emerging tech. As an AI creative technologist, I integrate generative tools into the creative process to push ideas further, faster, and with more intention.

  • Thrive in fast-moving environments where purpose meets experimentation. I believe the best creative doesn’t just look good, it sets people free. If you're building something bold, personal, or future-facing, I’d love to connect.
