Imagination in Every Stroke

Hi! I'm Alex.

I'm a Florida-based illustrator and I specialize in concept design! I attended both Flagler College and The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). My passion is creating, illustrating, and designing characters and bringing them to life so they can tell their stories and captivate audiences.

When I'm off the clock, I sculpt, paint, and love to game. Minecraft, Dungeons & Dragons, and Rain World are some of my favorite distractions.

My dream is to work with a creative organization where imagination, artistic innovation, and storytelling through the creative design process are valued.
