HEY THERE!

I am Aleksandra. I am 3rd gen Milwaukean, now living in Minneapolis, MN. Here is a bit about me.
When I was 2 years old I lost my left thumb. It's how I can tell my left from my right. The story is long, I'll tell you about it in person some time.
One of my first life passions is Harry Potter. I dressed as Hermione for Halloween for several years. There was a bookstore in my neighborhood that stayed in business by the midnight book releases, which my family attended faithfully, in full costume. Of course, I took that opportunity to dress as Hermione. If you ever go to a Harry Potter Trivia night and want to have a very good chance of winning, email me up.

Another passion in my life is animals, particularly guinea pigs and dogs. I've had guinea pigs since I was 4. My dad bribed us with guinea pigs when we asked for a dog. The joke was on him when, 6 years later, we got a dog. I have adopted all of my fuzzy buddies because I a firm believer in the adopt don't shop movement.
In 2013 I had my first opportunity to find my passion for Graphic Design. My high school started a robotics club and I self-taught myself the basics of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to create a brand. That brand has supported the team and all of its activities to this day and garners several thousand dollars in donations from local businesses every year. In 2019 I got my BFA in Graphic Design and Marketing from UMD.

From 2014-2015 I received a scholarship (CBYX) from the German and US governments to become a student ambassador. I am passionate about cultural understanding through language and cultural education. I've studied German since the 7th grade, and have been awarded a BA in German Studies.
In the summers of 2016 and 2017 I was in the Canadian backcountry canoeing with middle and high school kids. During these summers I learned that I enjoy working with kids, especially those who are born into tough situations. Giving these kids cool opportunities, connecting with them and watching them grow is incredibly rewarding.
Through my design work, I want to mold a better future, help people to all live equal, sustainable and happier lives.
