Bio
Jenny Walker
I had the pleasure of working with Alex for a year and a half. He is incredibly talented, positive, and became a part of our team even from across the country. He is always not just willing, but excited to think outside of the box and generate creative ideas beyond what you request of him. His willingness to always chip in no matter how big or small the task, made him very easy to work with. Whether you know exactly what design you're looking for, or have absolutely no idea, Alex can deliver.

Alex is a highly talented and creative designer who strives for unique and innovative solutions to difficult design problems. Alex is multi-discilinary due to the fact that he can design in both the 2D and the 3D as evidenced by his extensive portfolio of work. I feel that Alex would make a great addition to any design team and would be a vital source of creativity and out-of-the-box thinking and conceptualization.
