About Alex

Alex is a graduate of Kutztown University in Kutztown, PA, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Design, specializing in UX/UI. Alex has been creating art since he was a toddler and comes from a family of professional artists. He began working in the Adobe Suite as early as fifteen and hasn’t stopped using it since.

Through college, atop working part time at Wawa, Alex also started his own design business and worked closely with a local business in Kutztown to help restore classic vehicle decals. His business also handled branding for multiple internet personalities, and even some advertising for the Wawas in his region. In Alex’s junior year, the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a halt, and he needed to adapt. All his classes moved to online learning and he saw the connectivity between students plummet.

He knew he could help so he paused his design business and began on a project to help bring students together when they needed it most. Alex assembled a team and founded the Kutztown University Discord Community, a virtual space hosted on the popular desktop and mobile app, Discord. It started with only 5 people, and now two years later it’s 600+ strong and growing every day. Alex accomplished all this while making Honors on the Dean’s List three times.

In his free time, Alex enjoys longboarding down steep hills, Dungeons & Dragons, working on his car, and playing video games like Halo, Minecraft, and RailRoads Online. Alex also enjoys playing with his cat and spending time with his girlfriend.
