WHO AM I?
Hi! I’m Alex.
DESIGNER. STRATEGIC COMMUNICATOR. STORYTELLER.
I am a natural design-oriented thinker with a passion for creative solutions and visual storytelling.
Following graduation from Elon University in 2025, I plan to pursue a career in advertising/marketing, public relations, or graphic design, and I am actively looking for internship opportunities where I can learn from experts in content creation strategy, marketing, branding, visual design, and public relations.

Get TO KNOW ME.
I was born and raised in the “creative capital city” of Richmond, Virginia, a city with a rich yet complicated history and a thriving arts, design, and advertising community that heavily influenced my love of design and storytelling.
I grew up studying art; I began studying art and art history at age six and never stopped. I eventually started teaching art at an award-winning RVA children’s art studio.
In May 2025, I will graduate with honors from Elon University with two degrees in strategic communications and communication design and a minor in studio art.
I spent four months living in London in the Fall of 2024. While there, I studied mass communications and art history and completed a robust marketing internship at an acclaimed London-based art gallery. While in Europe, I visited seven countries and visited an art museum in each one.
I LOVE to cook! I try to cook a new recipe at least once a week and read cookbooks for fun. My current food obsession is pasta-making.
