We plucked Alex from the criminally underrated graphic design program at Valencia College 4 years ago, and she’s been Say It Loud!’s creative compass and ace-in-the-hole ever since. Alex touches nearly every account and her workmanship and design instincts are impeccable. She’s our resident straight shooter when it comes to creative and the first person you want inspecting a proof. She’s a born-and-raised Floridian who loves the outdoors, especially the beach. Her self-motivation is contagious, and she keeps everyone here laughing.
Korri is a multitalented Art Director and Illustrator. Born and raised in Florida (on both coasts) she's one of those rare, true Floridians. Korri earned her AA in Studio Art from Valencia College and a BFA in Graphic Design from UCF. Prior to joining Say It Loud! she helped clients in a wide range of industries including retail, travel, hospitality, healthcare and education. Korri's creative goals are to make cool stuff that matters and in her spare time you can find her browsing local estate sales. She is on the constant lookout for vintage furniture, décor and clothes - as well as retro labels for design inspiration. Korri also loves collecting interesting plants and tending to her collection of 300+ plants at home.
Lili is a Jr. Art Director and illustrator, primarily. She has many talents but her title would be too long if we included them all. We met her at a Valencia College portfolio review and shortly after she graduated, we were lucky enough to recruit her to our creative team. Born in the Big Apple, raised in the Dominican Republic and in Florida, Lili’s unique perspective positively impacts our agency culture and of course, the work. From print to web to social, Lili has the can do attitude, creative curiosity and the talent it takes to get it done. And when she comes up for air, you might find her playing video games, listening to some Green Day and spending time with her family.
Dolores is your classic Brooklyn-born, Florida transplant, and we love the NY flavor she adds to the Say It Loud! team. For us, Dolores dots all the I’s, crosses all the T’s, and tracks every penny with pinpoint accuracy, which is a huge benefit for us and our clients. She has 15 years of accounting and bookkeeping experience, specializing in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll. Before Say It Loud!, she earned her expertise managing the accounting for medical offices, government contractors, entrepreneurs, financial advisors, and many other small businesses. She loves UCF and NFL football, volunteering with her church, teaching money management, and the occasional trip to Vegas.

Instead of making resolutions we know we’re not going to keep (sorry, we’re not giving up chocolate), we decided to ask ourselves what our professional and personal goals are
1. If you could live anywhere, where would it be? I would love to move to Seattle, Washington. I’ve only ever lived in states where it’s scorching hot year-rou
1. If you could live anywhere, where would it be? If I ever lived anywhere else besides Florida it would be Denver, CO or Tucson, AZ. 2. What motivates you to work hard?&
