Alexander made his professional debut in 2011 in the advertising industry as a Graphic Designer at Young & Roubicam working on ad campaigns for a plethora of corporate companies. He spent many late nights as a "Mad Man" on Madison Avenue, sometimes even sleeping in the office writing and creating concepts and visuals for commercials, ads, and full blown campaigns.

In 2020, Alexander was approached by an auto repair shop, named Love Shop Auto, to build a brand that was original and unique amongst its peers. His responsibilities were to design the brand from the ground up, which included: logo + branding, space design, mural, illustration, narrative, and website. He continues to collaborate with the brand and would highly recommend you take your car there for repairs if needed.
