About Me

Hey! My name is Alexandra and I am 23. I am a Junior Graphic Designer in my adoptive city Belfast - before that I was born in Romania and grew up in Italy.

I recently graduated from Belfast School of Art in Graphic Design and Illustration, within this course I had the opportunity to work for Hastings Hotels during my placement year where I experienced the role of an in-house graphic designer.

The reason I pursued graphic design studies is because I love storytelling, graphic design is the art of using images, typography, and other design elements to tell a story. It is a powerful way of communicating a message that goes beyond words and engages the viewer on an emotional level. I enjoy designing for editorial and branding, and I am truly enthusiastic about design within the film industry.

When not designing you will probably find me cycling to the furthest forest, I am passionate about vintage clothing and second hand bookslet’s bring back the 90’s trends.
