As a Communication student, Alex knows the importance of expressing ideas visually. Currently, they’re completing a Publishing minor, which has allowed them to explore the world of design in a modern, academic environment alongside their work opportunities.
Recent Work
Most recently, Alex redesigned their business card and logo.
They also spent a couple of months volunteering with GRRRL Music’s STREET GRRRLs music club, where they created graphics, video, and micro-playlists for music they were passionate about, such as the slideshow below.
Additionally, they designed some pages for a local poetry zine, giving an extra dimension to their written work.
Social Media Design
Alongside their own platform, Alex has done social media graphics for SFU’s Vancity Office of Community Engagement, local disability nonprofit posAbilities, and the national queer youth outreach organization, QSpeak.

In 2024, Alex had the privilege of being included in Stealth Codes by Angelic Goldsky, a exhibition for that year’s Queer Arts Festival at The Roundhouse. They created the poem The Lovers That Launched A Thousand Censorships, and then elevated it to an AR piece, allowing users to place the poem anywhere they please, in defiance of queer erasure and censorship in digital spaces.
Print Design
Check out Alex’s final Print Design assignment: a redesign and reformat of Alice in Wonderland‘s first 3 chapters. The piece was also printed and hand-bound.

Also in print, Alex has designed works for a number of zines! In 2023, they had the opportunity to write and design a piece for an independent zine about Omnichords:
