About

Hi, I'm Alex Austin. I am a creative director and illustrator based in Austin, Texas. Originally from the land of kickflips and microchips: San Jose, California. My art school days were spent in San Francisco where I attended the San Francisco Art Institute and the Academy of Art University. I have also lived, loved, and worked in Los Angeles, New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

Thoughtful storytelling with heart is what I have specialized in. For thirteen years I have been building strong brands as a designer and creative leader.

What is wheelhouse for me?

• Authentic Storytelling

• Hands-on Digital Illustration and Animation

• Rebranding Creative Agencies and Startups

• Driving Marketing Campaigns that Deliver

• Designing Meaningful User Experiences

• Inspiring Creative Team Collaboration

• Platform User Interface Design

• Executive Level Communication

I was working hard to move the needle for creative agencies and startups. Now you can find me running a grocery store, skateboarding, hiking, having art time with my kids, working on my passion project Alex Austin Comics or only using my creative skills on my own projects. And no one else. Thanks for taking a look at my work.
