Hello!
Alexandra is currently studying animation and illustration at San Jose State University. When she’s not working on homework or ranting to her friends about her latest interest, you can find her drawing on her iPad. She hopes to become a visual development artist in the near future. Her goal is to create characters and stories people can connect to, much like the way her favorite pieces of media have touched her.
Thank you for visiting and checking out her work! If you’d like to connect, you can send her an EMAIL!
