Hey there, I’m Alexa Urbina!
Located in Kitchener, Ontario, you’ll find me as a recent graduate of the Conestoga College’s Graphic Design program.
As a print and identity-focused designer, my strengths lie in exploring design that effectively communicates information from different perspectives. Using my strong background in ideation, product photography, print, and illustration, I can provide successful solutions to creative problems.
Possessing the skills of a bilingual speaker, I can consider different perspectives to navigate to the optimal solution. It’s a fundamental value of mine to keep design accessible and approachable for everyone, as proper storytelling makes for the best design.
My community has grown as I’ve volunteered with Creative Day for Social Good, Good Company Productions, and KWFamous. I also get involved by freelancing for local businesses and connecting with other Illustrators.
