Hi, I’m Alex.

I’m a dreamer and a builder. Driven by advocacy and storytelling. The person in front of you at the DMV with no fingerprints. If we meet, you’ll probably think I’m an extrovert. Growing up, my mom always told me that life is not fair. She also taught me that acceptance is a precondition for change.

I’m passionate about global issues, especially those pertaining to the environment, economic justice, social equity, and public health.

What I do.

I’ve had an eclectic career. From studying philosophy to human subjects research, business to art and aerial imaging. It’s been a wild ride and one I wouldn’t change for anything.

Together with my day-to-day role leading the operations of a financial technology nonprofit, photography bridges my passion for art, science, and mission-driven work.

What this is.

This is my corner of the internet that I use as the opportunity to showcase my photography and pass along things that interest me. To live more deeply and presently, I abstain from most social media. Outside of this website you can find me on LinkedIn or follow me nowhere.

More than anything, I’m committed to leaving the world better than I inherited it. Humanitarian and conservation causes deeply matter to me and I’m always eager to collaborate on awareness projects.

Thanks for stopping by!
