Alexia Ayala-Ramseur

Being raised primarily on the love language "acts of service" (think heaping plates of food that never run out and a living room that is consistently spotless), creating a welcoming and loving space for others has always come naturally to me! I specialize in event coordination and community building. My philosophy is intentional programming to deliver on what matters most.

Angela Talmo

Born and raised in San Diego, studied in San Francisco, and now embracing Seattle, I’m a west coast girl through and through. I find my joy in new experiences and hands-on creation. Away from my desk, I'm into running, skiing, crafting, road tripping, or a good book!

I'm East Coast-based with a global reach. I've had the joy of managing events ranging from team retreats to large-scale conferences and multi-week global tours.
