Haay. Ciao. Hola.

I’m Alessia, an Australian/ Italian Copywriter in NYC🗽

When I was 16, I watched an ad that outraged me to my teenage core, so I wrote a letter to the brand. A few years later I realised I wanted to be the one writing ads.

Here’s some other things about me:

I co-founded a blog and shit-talking podcast called tbqfh. I pitched on Gruen (Australian TV ad show). My videos have been featured on @whatnyeats, @subwaycreatures and @whatisnewyork because I have a propensity for finding myself where the chaos and shenanigans are. Oh and I did a little @subwaytakes opinion 🐭👑 My best ideas have come to me when I am raging about an injustice. I took a DNA test and it turns out not only was my innate 🤌🏼🇮🇹 confirmed, I’m 8% Middle Eastern which made me feel slightly fancy. I tried studying law and found out my brain couldn’t swallow whole textbooks of information like that. It preferred to draw on said textbooks and never return them.

But my greatest achievement so far has been moving my life to New York City.
It has helped me develop my own particular brand of chaos.

LET’S GRAB A COCKTAIL.
