Alysha Smith

At an early age, Alysha wanted a career in business and design. In 2001, she was promoted to store manager of Banana Republic while working on her degree in Communications and Business at Brigham Young University.

Shortly after graduation, she moved to New York to pursue her dreams of living and working in a big city. While in various roles of management with Banana Republic, she was recognized company-wide for her talents in leadership excellence, people development, and visual merchandising.

After some self-reflection, she decided in 2012 to make a career change that brought her back to her original plan and to modern8. Alysha is happy now managing the business, directing the creative, working with clients, and treating the team to weekly ice cream cones.

While not at work, she is a mom, wife, bodybuilder, fiddle player, and culinary master of stir-fry vegetables (much to her kids’ chagrin).
