Available to hire
Hi, I’m Alexandra Owens, a Wisconsin-based graphic and game designer with a passion for turning ideas into vivid visuals and playable worlds. I design and animate sprites, environmental assets, logos, and posters, blending illustration sensibilities with digital tooling across Unity, Unreal, and the Adobe suite.
Currently I freelance as an Artist and work as a Graphic Designer for UW-Stout Archives, while pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Game Design & Development at UW-Stout. I value collaboration, curiosity, and hands-on practice to bring design projects to life—from campus posters to mobile adventure games.
