Word on the street

I hired Alex to design the Blaine Harbor Music Festival website. Alex had such an incredible attention to detail when working on our project. He was able to seamlessly adapt to the evolving requests from our Board of Directors. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns- we felt extremely confident and secure in Alex’s expertise and professionalism. He made us feel that our project was his top priority at all steps of the way.

I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Alex in a variety of multidisciplinary environments. I’m constantly impressed by his versatility, creativity, intellect, talent, emotional awareness, and kindness. He’s a team player , yet his light always shines forth. I can’t think of any creative situation where Alex wouldn't thrive, and be an invaluable member of any organization.
