Hello, my name is Alex and my goal is to contribute to the creation of a world we can be proud of.
I am an experienced graphic designer with an interest in systems thinking, advocating for progressive ethical practices to support inclusive and environmentally sustainable development.
I believe compassionate and sustainable creativity, equality of opportunity, freedom and inclusivity are to be celebrated. It is important to me to champion these values in my work and everyday life.
If you are also interested in finding effective ways to make positive change, I’d love to hear from you.
