Design Director

In addition to making Autostraddle look pretty, Alex is also a print and web graphic designer born and raised in New York, but just recently relocated to sunny California. She likes making infographics (1 and 2) for fun. To offset all this computer nonsense, she plays the drums as often as anyone will let her. Other interests include: tree/rock climbing, hair-cutting, american apparel deep v-neck shirts and dancing. For even more exciting over-sharing, follow her on twitter.
