After graduating from USC with a degree in Communication and Design, Alex decided to take her love for art and turn it into a living. Understanding the power of social media, Alex began sharing her artwork on an Instagram page to grow a platform.
Her Instagram page quickly became a hit, growing in numbers quickly. Since its inception, her page has grown to over 25,000 followers, which has taken her brand to the next level. Alex has been producing and selling original art as original pieces and prints. As the business has grown, Alex has started adding other things to her store as well. You can find a variety of shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, and bags all featuring Alex’s art on her website.
Alex puts a heavy focus on quality over quantity, and the products she makes for her store reflect that. Each artwork is meticulously crafted and paired with high-quality garments. From embroidered jackets to silk-screened tees, everything is made with care.
