Hi, I’m Alicia Cox

I’m a coastal creative, lifelong entrepreneur, and founder of Prjkt Restaurant Group—but long before that, I was just a girl from Lake Tahoe with big dreams and a love for bringing people together.

At 19, I moved to Huntington Beach with nothing but ambition and a knack for storytelling. I started in marketing, sharpened my skills launching venues in Las Vegas, and found my true calling back home: crafting unforgettable hospitality experiences where food, music, and community collide. Every venture I’ve launched has been rooted in that vision—to create moments people never forget, right by the sea.

I’ve spent the past decade turning my passion for creating unforgettable experiences into a career along the Southern California coast. It all began with SeaLegs Wine Bar—my first concept and the launchpad for the PRJKT Group. That small bar grew into an award-winning destination, sparking a movement of elevated yet approachable coastal dining.

Since then, I’ve helped shape PRJKT’s signature beachside destinations, blending laid-back luxury with vibrant entertainment and thoughtful hospitality. Today, I focus on expanding our reach, partnering with civic leaders, and sharing my love for West Coast flavors—recently publishing my first cookbook, California Fork & Spoon.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is collaborating with brands to bring their vision to life at the beach. From immersive food and beverage experiences to large-scale hospitality concepts, I thrive on translating brand stories into unforgettable, sun-soaked moments—whether it's for the US Open of Surfing or a Netflix event. No two days are the same, and that’s exactly how I like it.

Just as important is mentoring my team and creating opportunities for them to grow. Watching someone discover their voice, take on a leadership role, or launch a new idea is one of the most fulfilling parts of what I do. We’re more than just a hospitality group—we’re a launchpad for creative talent and passionate people who want to make an impact.

Outside of my work with PRJKT, I stay connected to my creative roots through several passion projects. These include The Salty B Boutique—a beach-chic lifestyle brand inspired by effortless coastal living; and various community programs that give back to local nonprofits and support the people and places that have supported me.

And at the center of it all is my family—my husband Josh and our daughter, Sahara—who continue to inspire everything I do. Whether we’re testing new recipes, exploring the shoreline, or just enjoying a quiet moment together, they remind me every day why I love what I do.
