Long Story Short

Midwest gal runs away to PNW to explore nature and the intersection of “what,” “why,” and “how.”

—

Alex (she/they) is rogue creative from the Wild Midwest who now calls Seattle home.

In their spare time, they explore with their jungle wolf (Zoey) and consume podcasts like an addict. All of Alex’s best pictures are while talking or not paying attention.

They are often found quietly observing, taking notes, sketching, and eating.

You Should Work With Alex

Alex’s passions for science and design has brought them a variety of job titles and projects over the years, with a common thread running throughout all of their commitments: being able to use an intersectional lens to create great design options that make information more accessible. They thrive best with structure, and will always expand to the capacity of their container (and sometimes ask for larger ones.) Alex enjoys continuous learning and exceeding expectations in a way that builds upon team success.
