Alexis Scott was a photographers’ agent when she serendipitously found an opportunity to launch her own business. Upon accidentally losing her address book, she quickly learned the true value of having immediate access to her work contacts. She knew that if her creative community contacts meant so much to her, they must have value to others. With this idea in mind, Alexis founded the L.A. Workbook at her kitchen table.

Today the Workbook and workbook.com are the premier creative resources for the commercial arts industry in the US and Canada. Thirty-one years in the making, Workbook has been a leading purveyor of graphic arts marketing tools. The company provides commercial artists — photographers, illustrators, designers, letterers and their representatives — with print and online vehicles to promote their assignment work to business creatives at advertising agencies, design studios, corporate art departments and publications. The Workbook Database maintains a stringently verified collection of listings of over 25,000 companies and nearly 60,000 individuals.

As publisher and CEO, Alexis manages day-to-day operations for the Workbook while also providing leadership in the commercial arts industry. She is an advocate for artists and photographers and frequently speaking out on their behalf at industry events such as PhotoPlus, the Illustration Conference and the New School in New York. Alexis has also served as a member of the Board of Directors of AIGA (the American Institute of Graphic Arts) and was a past adviser to the Graphic Arts Council of the Los Angeles Museum of Art (LACMA). She has also supported the small business community and specifically women, as a member of the Board of Directors of Count Me In, a non-profit organization that provides microloans to women-owned small businesses. She is a member of the PLUS (Picture Licensing Universal System) initiative. In addition, Workbook provides corporate sponsorship for a number of organizations including APA (Advertising Photographers of America), ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers), Society of Illustrators, GAG (Graphic Artists Guild) and the IPA (Illustrators Partnership of America).

Alexis is a graduate of UCLA with a Bachelor's degree in psychology.
