About Alex
Originally from Montreal, I worked for 15+ years in print advertising, parallel to freelancing as a self-taught Graphic Designer. When I moved to Toronto in 2008, I started my boutique graphic design studio working extensively in branding and print design with clients big and small, ranging from large corporations, institutions, government agencies and non-profits to local Toronto artists.
Over my 22+ years of experience as a Graphic Designer, I've specialized in branding, branded content and layout design. In recent years, I've also immersed myself in Illustration and Digital Fine Art work. My innate sense of aesthetics combined with my vast experience, as well as a clear understanding of practicalities like timelines and budgets have made me an expert in my field.

Advocacy
I have been an advocate since a young age. I wrote my first letter to Pierre Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada at age 7 and organized my first peaceful protest in High School at age 14. I believe that we are all part of a global community and therefore have a responsibility to make the world a better place. This can look differently for each one of us.
My advocacy has often been focused around Women's Issues and Rights. Since October 7, as a Jewish Canadian woman, my advocacy has shifted and is now focused around everything relating to Antisemitism and Jewish People's right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland of Israel. My advocacy has been directed towards:
• supporting local Toronto, Canadian as well as International Jewish grassroots organizations
• content creation fighting the Social Media war online
• collaborating on projects with other passionate Advocates
• creating my own initiatives for sustainable change
I am passionate about making a difference and have an unwavering commitment to social justice. I've always felt that the people who believe they can change the world are the ones who do.
Let's change the world.
