About

Hello! I’m Alex Absalon, a product designer and illustrator with a specialty in western fashion brands and leather goods. I translate concepts into practical, manufacturable designs—from wallets and belts to travel bags and hardware—with attention to fit, color, and fabrication.

I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, writing clear product specifications, and refining development processes. My experience spans licensed merchandise design at Bioworld Merchandising to shaping style and collections, while keeping a user-centered mindset and a love for hands-on craft.
