Hi there, I’m Alex!

I’m an art direction graduate student at VCU Brandcenter who’s hypocritical about wanting to spend more time outdoors. To reconcile this, I keep at least five plants — mainly cacti — on my desk at all times, and another handful around the room.

During the time I spend not getting out, I enjoy...

quoting movie lines.
writing music that will never be heard.
analyzing Roger Deakins’ ominously observational cinematography.
yearning to go kayaking.
playing intense video games casually.
