hello

Hey there, I'm Alexandra. Most people call me Alex. I’m a multidisciplinary designer, art director, & illustrator based in Chicago. Currently at Ogilvy , I help create tailored visual brand & identity systems with some of the industry’s best, across projects for globally recognized clients. On the side, I’m building Sucasa Studio, an independent creative studio & store which I own and operate, that seeks to create impactful solutions for responsible allies & brands.

With interests in community, sustainability, & art as a universal language, I believe thoughtful, communicative design has the power to inspire change. If you have a project in mind that aligns with these interests, I’d love to learn more.
