Hi, I'm Alex.
Growing up outside Washington, D.C., I was inspired by the D.C. hardcore music scene and Dischord Records. This world ingrained a strong DIY ethos and a commitment to authenticity. My introduction to graphic design began with customizing websites on LiveJournal and creating band websites and merch for friends.
I'm inspired by everything from Raymond Pettibon's flyers to Samuel Mockbee's Rural Studio's mission and social-driven architecture and Wolfgang Weingart and Karel Martens' typography.
I’m a fan of the new wave of tech companies like Are.na, Linear, and the Browser Company. My love of learning inspires me to continue teaching design and workshops, helping connect me to the constantly evolving design and technology landscape.
I live in Los Angeles with my fiancée and our daughter. As a Korean Adoptee, I'm deeply involved with AKA Los Angeles, serving on the board and supporting the adoptee community here in Southern California.
