Alexis Stypa is an architectural designer at Harrison Design and founder of Stypa Studio in Santa Barbara, CA. She received her masters from the Notre Dame School of Architecture, and before that studied humanities and mathematics at Ave Maria University. During a summer internship, she became interested in how beauty in both the natural and built environment affects the whole person. This interest led her to study architecture with a particular passion for sacred architecture and renewal in church design. Alexis is an avid free diver and aspiring naturalist. She grew up bringing her sketchbook along family adventures, and has since enjoyed being in a profession which her sketchbook is still very useful.
