Alecz Swanson
(she/her)EVENT PLANNER
Being born and raised in Seattle, Alecz has fostered many meaningful connections throughout her career that eventually lead to her start in event planning. Alecz’s passion for event planning traces back to being a young person, when concerts fostered a sense of community and belonging for her and eventually evolved into producing her own events.
Alecz approaches every event with intention and care, and a commitment to creating a safe, accessible, and inclusive space that centers the experiences of BIPOC and LGBTQIA communities. Her event experiences range from large-scale galas and conferences to small-scale community-building events.
Outside of event work, Alecz loves to connect with friends and family over a good meal. Her happy place is a loud concert or snuggling up at home with her two silly cats. Alecz is excited to build meaningful connections and learn what you would love to experience at your next event!
