Alyssa Petit

Hey there! My name is Alyssa Petit, and just a month after receiving my diploma at the University of Kansas with a degree in visual communications, I traded the flatlands for a life in the Last Frontier with my husband (no, there were no ruby slippers involved nor is my husband made of tin). As a Fairbanks transplant, I quickly embraced and became part of this extraordinary community. I’ve found the people here are a unique blend of resilience, inspiration, creativity, quirkiness, and above all, passion. My life's passion is to create on purpose. I believe that language, in both its spoken and visual forms, intricately shapes human consciousness. My mission is to contribute to the crafting of a world where everyone feels safe, heard, and empowered. And where better to embark on this journey than in the state of beautiful extremes! Here's to creating a world for us all. Cheers! P.S. I enjoy painting, I have caught some really cool fish, and I make perfect soft-yet-chewy bagels.

The Art of Walking

It wasn’t until I saw the sunrise over the Alaska range from the bridge leading into downtown that I truly understood the beauty of my daily walk. Join me on a year-long journey of walking to work, where each step reveals not just changing landscapes but also a deeper connection to the world around us. From the warmth of summer sunsets to the crisp air of winter mornings, walking becomes not just a physical activity but a passage to rediscover the joys of the present moment.
