I am a professional illustrator and graphic designer. At the start of my career I focused on unpaid internships as I wanted to get hands on practical experience when it comes to creative projects. I started out as an intern for a Granola Company, designing packaging, advertising and online social media posts as well as info decks for company meetings. I also interned for a music label in Florida helping illustrate cover designs and also designing logos. I was hired by Micro1 for three separate campaigns, for Krita 2D illustration, Libresprite Pixel illustration and also Adobe Photoshop Graphic Design. Due to my performance I was granted a certificate by Micro1 for my outstanding and consistent work across all three campaigns. Most recently I was headhunted by the NHS and Ealing Council to help illustrate a child friendly book cover for healthy eating. I have a versatile approach to illustration, and the most valuable skill I have learned over these years is how to help make a vision become reality. I would love to be a part of your childrens book project, and I can give you my full availability. Warmest Regards Alexander
