I’m Alden Easter Lopez

I’m a content creator with over 15 years of experience in the industry, passionate about discovering the best local food spots and sharing tips from every destination I visit. If there are palm trees and salt water, I feel right at home.

As the co-founder of JAW Creative, I help brands grow through meaningful digital content. I’m inspired by travel, nature, and animals, and I’ll never turn down an Aperol Spritz!

Behind the Spritz

I started my Instagram at 14, and over the years, it’s become a reflection of my journey—from college days at Ole Miss to life on the coast, getting married, and rescuing my furry sidekick, Cheerio.

Now, this corner of the internet is my modern-day journal. I hope Ace at the Beach becomes a place where you can discover new experiences, support local hidden gems, and feel inspired to travel and live more mindfully.

More than anything, I want to spread joy, whether it’s through a dreamy beach view, a must-try dessert, or the best espresso martini in the mountains!

Over the years, I've had the privilege of partnering with an array of notable brands, including Tervis Tumbler, YOLO Board, L*Space, Beis Travel, Monos, Lucky Brand, Davines Hair, Kristin Ess, Capital One, and Le Tropical Hotel St. Barth. I have worked with Revolve, Bartaco, Chantecaille, Ulta Beauty, Sézane, Sol De Janeiro, Outdoor Voices, Shark Week, Vital Proteins, AVA Resort, Marriott, Divi, Kate McLeod, Otterbox, Polaroid, and many more.

My Experience

I co-founded JAW Creative with my sister and have grown it while sharing my daily life online. With over 15 years of experience in social media marketing, I specialize in brand partnerships, user-generated content, videography, editing, and creative strategy. At JAW, we help brands connect authentically with their audiences, creating content that inspires genuine engagement and measurable growth.

When I’m not creating content or hopping on a plane, you’ll likely find me watching a movie or at least keeping one playing in the background. I'm a big movie buff and aim to watch over 100 new films each year (yes, really!).

I moved 20 times before I turned 20 because my dad flipped houses, so being on the move has always felt natural to me. Wanderlust is in my DNA.

My favorite animal is the great white shark (I’m genuinely obsessed), and cage diving with them is at the very top of my bucket list.

While I love a classic Aperol Spritz, a well-made tequila cocktail is my true go-to.

I’m completely obsessed with cobalt blue! There's something about that bold, electric shade that instantly lifts my mood and makes everything feel a bit more vibrant.

I’m incredibly thrifty, always hunting for the best deal and proudly avoiding paying full price whenever possible.
