About

It's hard not to come off as weirdly formal but my name is Alejandro - I'm a designer born in Madrid, Spain but raised in Los Angeles. I have a degree in architecture but I love all different kinds of design, from graphic to product design. What has always attracted me to design was the iterative and collaborative proccess of design, as well as the opportunity for objects, buildings, and graphics to have an enduring semiotic significance for a culture and individuals beyond practical, everyday use. Design is more than just utilitarian in my view. My favorite books on design are S,M,L,XL by Rem Koolhas and the Theory of Semiotics by Umberto Eco. I play soccer and tennis sometimes. I enjoy being bad at most video games.
