Creative Direction & Design
Hi, I’m Alex.
I'm a designer and creative marketer with a passion for building brands people connect with. Over the past nine years, I've worked with brands ranging from Patagonia to one of the Southeast's largest climbing gyms, creating everything from websites and social media campaigns to apparel and coffee packaging.
I love turning ideas and dreams into a reality that's both visually compelling and strategically effective.
