Hi, I’m Alex.

I’m a skilled designer with 25 years experience leading on creative projects.

I specialise in brand identity and deliver a full service from strategic positioning and workshopping through to complete design systems. I also provide a comprehensive range of individual design services.

I’m currently Head of Design at NeuralSpace, an AI SaaS platform specialising in text and voice, Natural Language Processing. I led the rebrand work and am responsible for ongoing identity and UX development.

I’m an advisor and course co-ordinator at Design Future, an accelerator that supports designers to develop new products and raise funding. I also lecture in design theory and practice at De Montfort University.

I’m a friendly, approachable and effective communicator. I believe that good design only happens as a part of an open-minded, collaborative relationship.

I work well independently, in teams and can also assemble highly skilful teams to handle projects with specific requirements.

Please contact me here.
