Hello! My name is Alex and I design stuff

My story begins in a small country town west of Sydney, when some fellow 5th grade friends and I decided to create and sell a magazine consisting of our drawings and exploits about the unregenerate teaching staff.
Unfortunately the first issue was forced underground after a prominent Deputy Principal labelled it “Gutter” and that it “had no place in the NSW educational system”
Although the magazine never published a second issue, I had learnt an important lesson, THE POWER OF DESIGN! So I made a conscious decision that I wanted to be a Designer.

After a few obstacles and set backs I ended up at Enmore Design Centre in 2002 where I would spend the next 4 years and come out with a Certificate IV in Design Fundamentals, a Diploma Of Events and Entertainment Design and a Diploma of Graphic Design. Some say that I enjoyed the “Design student life” a little bit too much, but that’s just speculation.

I got my first real Graphic Design job in 2006 when I began working for Spb Software house in Thailand, where I designed skins, icons and anything related to a handheld device. And now I'm back in Australia and I'm currently working with Holler in Sydney Australia.. So far its all good! But I'm missing Thailand!
