Hi, I'm Alex.

I’m a Creative Director living in Brooklyn. I grew up in California and lived in Detroit for a while before moving to New York. My background is in visual design and spans everything from relief printmaking to digital illustration to over a decade of hands-on art direction.

I do my best work for consumer brands where culture and commerce intersect, and I'm happiest when I'm moving fluidly between high-level concepting and in-the-weeds execution. Past clients include CeraVe, Kiehl’s, essie, e.l.f. Cosmetics, Google, Verizon, Heineken, Fernet-Branca, Papa Gino’s, and more.

You can find all the nitty-gritty in my resume, or you can get in touch with me whenever at aekaufman11@gmail.com.
