Hi! This is Alex. I'm currently studying architecture for my Undergraduate degree, at the University of Waterloo. I was born and raised in Toronto with a love of making things from a young age. I've always been concerned with questions about making life more joyful, artful and yet more convenient even in small ways during the everyday experience. I strive to design things that are practical yet inventive and playful, and are always based in some form of craft. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to send me a message via email or the contact form below!
