Alissa has worked in print since 2007, taking on roles of graphic designer, sales rep, print broker, and member of a production team. In 2013, she met her first platen press Hank (a Beast of a press from 1920) and it was love at first print.

From humble beginnings as a dabbler in illustration, Alissa has discovered a deep love for all things paper and print, focusing more and more on techniques and technologies of yesteryear. While Any Key Press does offer modern print solutions, the main focus is on utilizing antique printing presses, some over 100 years old, and working with veteran pressmen hailing from the golden age of print in order to preserve the art form for future generations.
