Alex Hayes (she/they): a graphic designer, artist and sound healer, committed to creating change for people and the planet.
With four years experience in the design industry, I’ve developed multifaceted skills in print, digital and 3D. I prioritise purpose-driven projects and clients, such as Infarm, COP27, Climate Change Committee and UK Anti-Corruption Coalition. My work is celebrated on many reputable platforms, including It’s Nice That, Stack Awards, Design Week and étapes Magazine.
When approaching a brief, I play an investigatory role, uncovering hidden problems and formulating far-reaching solutions. This involves meticulous research, asking questions, fabricating new ideas, prototyping, user-centered feedback and crafting.
