About the Founder
Alexander Harris Jr., M.A. (Educational Leadership and Policy), is the founder of Luma Works and works as a strategist, facilitator, and community builder who understands systems and the communities they impact. A science educator turned policy analyst, Alex launched Luma Works after wanting to deepen his commitment to creating meaningful, sustainable impact
His approach is grounded in real life and real people. He's boots on the ground as a change agent, chef, educator, and nonprofit leader in Anne Arundel County, MD. He weaves a background in mixed-methods research, education, and critical policy studies to help organizations see the bigger picture and the blind spots.
With a calm, grounding presence and a reputation for asking the right "how" and "why" questions, Alex leads with his curiosity. His facilitation style draws on human-centered design, adult learning principles, and his experience as a creative and spoken word poet. He prides himself in curating spaces that are reflexive, transparent, and always rooted in love.
At the heart of it all, Alex has the tendency to draw the best out of others, especially on collaborative projects. He is a visionary who understands how to pull the right pieces together to help everyone see the bigger picture.
