👋 Meet Alissa!

Alissa D.Luepke Pier, AIA, is a national award-winning architect whose practice specializes in creative, complex problem-solving with purpose.

She is most renowned for deciding on land use applications in a quasi-judicial capacity, master-planning projects for school districts, facilitating community engagement, or designing residential/commercial buildings.
.. but Star Wars fans have experienced her work personally, as she has also designed the diorama booth layouts for every Celebration since 2015.

Her interest in Star Wars began at an early age, as evidenced by the many Return of the Jedi stickers in her childhood stickerbook; and her good fortune in playing the singular Princess Leia role when outside with the neighbor kids in her youth, despite not having brunette hair.

Alissa's history with the diorama group took root when she went to C4 with her husband and found the perfect combination of nostalgia for her childhood (Star Wars) and her University years (design studio) ... and the rest is history!

Stop by booth on the main show floor and say hi!
