Resume
Alex Fallaw
am a graphic designer and web developer with a passion for both creative expression and technical problem-solving. My dual skillset in design and computer science allows me to craft intuitive, accessible interfaces while understanding the technical constraints of the systems they function within. I take joy in refining the details of a project, whether that be a programming challenge or a design layout, working towards the best version of the product I can make. Beyond digital design, I have explored a wide range of artistic mediums, from traditional and digital art to sculptural and textual forms. This breadth of experience continuously informs my work, helping me approach design challenges with fresh perspectives and innovative solutions.
