Alex Cole

My name is Alexandra Cole and I am originally from a small town in Minnesota. I recently just received my BA in Graphic Design from San Diego State University where I honed my skills for the last four years. I have experience working as a freelance designer for both organizations and on campus.

I grew up being very passionate about creating whether that be drawing in my grandmas basement in her art studio, teaching myself a new instrument (I play guitar, piano, and ukulele), photography, or making videos.
