Welcome, about me
My Name is Alex Lauriano, I am a Chicago-based Graphic Designer with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) from Trinity Christian College. I have an interest in Digital/Physical design & illustration, branding, and other art-related practices. I’m familiar with Adobe applications, as well as other marketing tools such as Google Ads and YouTube. Seeing progress in my workflow is rewarding, so I do well at teaching myself new skills for proficiency- challenging myself to try new techniques and forms of media. I use design to help solve problems and to shape the world around me.
