Lexie (she/her) has been in love with story telling since she could talk. Starting as a performer in childhood, she eventually expanded into designing hair, makeup, and the occasional prop.

It should be a space where everyone feels seen and valued; a space that sparks joy and starts conversations. This show has been a team effort and a labor of love, and she hopes it sets the vibe for all future Shifted Lens endeavors. Enjoy the show!
