About Alex

I have over 10 years of experience in the graphic design field, working freelance and in-house, as a solo designer and as part of creative teams. I am particularly partial to brand development, creative artworking projects, typesetting and layout design.
 

I am the creator of Novel Notes, a sustainable and vegan online stationery shop that uses locally-manufactured materials in the production of refillable notebooks and planners.
 

I am a 2011 alum of London College of Communication (University of the Arts London) with 1st class BA Hons in Design for Graphic Communication, currently studying for a MSc Systems Thinking in Practice at The Open University. Read about my journey on my blog.
 

I am a qualified youth worker and teaching assistant with experience in primary, secondary and undergraduate education.
 

I'm a bit of a productivity nerd with perfectionist tendencies and a passion for planning digitally and on paper, continuously learning about more effective ways to manage information, projects and tasks.
 

I have a chronic illness that affects cognitive processing and energy levels. Written communication works better for me as it gives me time to think and get back to you when I am more capable. If you prefer a different style of communication, please let me know and we can find a compromise!
