About me

On a personal note...

Bonjouuur!
I am Alex, a detail-oriented visual designer who grew up in a little town called Joliette in Quebec. Growing up, I was fascinated by putting LEGOs and puzzles together, which developed the strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills I have today. My curiosity and eagerness to learn have always lead the way in my life. My career was always the focus of my moves, but love was the reason why I left Montreal for Vancouver at 25. Life led me to move a lot in the last few years, with 3 cross-country moves. Thankfully, I can adapt quickly and easily, but I am now happy to call Vancouver my home.

I am an ISTP-A

As an ISTP, I am an individual who is adventurous and open to new experiences, with a restless curiosity to understand how things work. My personality tends to be both analytical and spontaneous, while being practical. With a grounded nature, I am a realistic optimist. Overall, I am a pragmatic problem-solver who isn't afraid to take risks.

I am bilingual

In Joliette, French is the primary language, as most parts of Quebec are. My mom pushed me to learn English in elementary school. She always said it would be useful for traveling. She didn't think for a minute it meant I would move across the country to an english-speaking province though. So thank you mom.
