Director’s bio:

It all started with an ink pen. Growing up, cheap little ink pens were usually the only drawing tools laying around or in junk drawers around the house. He took these pens and drew anything that came to mind. This quickly became Alex’s medium of choice. His talent quickly progressed into a valuable skill set and he later got accepted into a Performing Arts high school called (Harrison School of The Arts). This was a major transitioning point for him entering the real world of art.
He is now a Miami based award winning Illustrator and 2D Animator with a background in Architecture (FIU – School Of Architecture). While still in college he worked as an Architect at (Red Design Group – Miami based firm). Wanting to use more of his artistic ability, he took the Architectural Visualization path at (Spine3D – Miami Based Arch Viz Studio). He later quit the 9 to 5 hustle in Miami, drove across the US with his wife in a U-Haul and transitioned into a full-time freelance artist in Los Angeles CA. (BIG CHANGE!) While freelancing in LA he worked for several major studios creating Illustrations, Concept Art, Storyboards, Event/Set Design, Amusement Park/Attraction Design and Architecture Illustrations. You can check his website for a full breakdown of some of his most successful projects. Some of Alex’s past clients include: Mattel, Doritos, Airbnb, Fox Sports, Midnight Oil, TBWA\, Y&R, NBC Universal, Ravensun Creative, NFL Network, Publicis, Deloitte., Coors Light, Saatchi & Saatchi, University Of Phoenix and 25hours Hotel Dubai just to name a few. Alex also did a 2 month Artist residency in Dubai.
