I live in Brooklyn and work in creative direction. I grew up in California, went to undergrad at Michigan (go blue) and lived in Detroit for a while before moving to New York in 2015.
I’m a seasoned creative with a relentlessly optimistic approach to work and advertising. My background is in visual design and spans everything from relief printmaking to digital illustration to nearly a decade of hands-on art direction.
Lately, I’ve been spending most of my 9-5 time as an ACD at Ogilvy. I’ve also worked for some other fantastic clients like e.l.f. Cosmetics, Google, Verizon, Heineken, Danone (covering the Asia-Pacific market out of Hong Kong), Waze, Happy Family Organics, and many more.
I don’t have social media, but you can find all the nitty-gritty in my resume, or you can get in touch with me whenever at aekaufman11@gmail.com.
Hi, I’m Alex.
