Hi! I’m Alex.

I’m an illustrator, writer, and editor based in Woodstock, New York.

I lived in Brooklyn for almost a decade before my partner and I relocated upstate. Over the years I’ve worked as a blogger, a social sports organizer, a line cook, a cheesemonger, a magazine editor, and now, I get to spend my time doing my favorite things in the world: telling stories and making art.

In my down time, you’ll find my tending my menagerie of houseplants, knitting an intricate sweater, or sipping wine on a beach (if only in my dreams).

I recently published my first book, “Please Grow: Lessons on Thriving For Plants (and People).” It’s an illustrated guide to self-care, creativity, and personal growth, rooted in the life cycle of plants. I hope you’ll check it out! I am currently the Senior Features Editor for print in SAVEUR Magazine, and am also available for hire as an illustrator, writer, and consultant. Say hi sometime!
