I’m currently employed as the Project Manager and Graphic Designer at Park Sign Creative, in Collingwood.
A creative and strategic marketer and digital communicator, I have 10+ years of experience blending digital marketing, visual design, and content creation to engage diverse audiences.
Born in the United Arab Emirates, raised in Oman and the U.K., I’ve been fortunate to call several places home including Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Australia and now Canada, where I graduated from B.C.’s Capilano University’s revered IDEA program.
The several countries I’ve lived in and travel I’ve done provide great inspiration in my ability to craft memorable campaigns and fresh ideas.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me in the mountains, on the water, or in the snow.

Kind words from awesome people
“Working with Alex was always a pleasure. He's a very capable designer & illustrator with an excellent understanding of branding and a good business sense—a rare quality in a designer.
Alex works efficiently, making him able to design quickly when deadlines are tight, but his creativity, patience, and understanding of the design process allow him to skillfully work through bigger, more creative projects with confidence, always focussing on the quality of his work. He always welcomes constructive criticism and is very good at working other people's ideas into good design solutions. All of this makes Alex very easy to work with and well-liked among his colleagues.”

“I first hired Alex as a freelance illustrator to give a fresh look to the four monthly columnists' spot illustrations in BCBusiness magazine in early 2013. We were launching a big redesign and wanted a unique and fresh take. The illustrations were perfect and ran with the monthly columns for 2 or 3 years. Since then I have worked with Alex several times and every time it has been a great experience.
The larger projects Alex designed for us have been illustrated type covers – he did three for our January Best Cities for work in BC and each has a unique take. I had an idea in my mind but all I had to give Alex was a rudimentary sketch and he not only got it but took it to the next level….and very quickly and proficiently. He had ideas for colours and how to fix any problem areas my sketch didn’t take into account. We also did a story on craft beer and Alex designed the growler with all the cover lines on it – we had it printed and it was perfect. We don’t assign illustrated type covers often but when we do Alex is the person to go to. On a personal note Alex is a treat to work with – he also did the most delightful illustration of my cats that proudly hangs in my home.”
