Hi, I'm Alexandria. Let's make technology work for you.
I founded Auva Studio to help small businesses, startups, nonprofits, and growing teams make confident technology decisions, starting with your goals. I help with websites, automation and AI, project management, and AR, VR, and game production.
Founder of Auva Studio, based in the Mid-Hudson Valley
20+ years of making technology work for people.
I spent nearly two decades as a developer behind newspaper websites and web apps, from the Times Herald-Record to more than 150 daily newspapers now owned by USA TODAY Co. Since 2023 I've worked as a technical project manager, managing 14+ VR experiences and mobile games for indie game studios. I've built in Meta Horizon Worlds for years and I'm part of Meta Horizon Start and the Meta Horizon Creator Program. Because my background is in both software development and project management, I understand how the technology works and build plans teams can actually keep up with. Now I bring that experience to businesses that need a website, want more from the tools they have, or are curious about AI and emerging technology.
Tools I work with. Projects: Jira, Trello, Notion, ClickUp, and Zapier. AR, VR, and games: Unity, Meta Quest, Meta glasses, Meta Horizon, and AR in the browser. AI: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Meta AI.
Why I started Auva Studio.
Technology keeps changing, and AI, AR, and VR are changing it faster than ever. I started Auva Studio to put my decades of experience to work for small businesses, startups, nonprofits, and growing teams: to help you stay ahead of those changes and make technology work for you. I use AI tools in my own work, and I'm eager to show you how they can help you too.
How I work.
You work with me directly, from the first call to handover.
