A Utah-born NYC transplant with a deep love of sobriety culture, creativity, and small business, Alex has found her happy place at Spirited Away, where every day is an opportunity to make social spaces in New York more accessible by offering the best in non-alc. Alex lives in Brooklyn with her partner, Sam, and good boy, Jasper.
