Graduate Showcase is a regular feature on design droplets that aims to help recent graduates (within the last year) get their name out into the wider design community. Graduate Showcase is a series of questions that seek to showcase who they are as a designer and where they are headed. If you would like to be featured in Graduate Showcase then let us know via the contact page. Alternatively if you are a prospective employer and would like to get in touch with one of our Graduate Showcasees then let us know via the contact page.
1. Welcome to Design Droplets, Please give us a quick rundown on yourself.
I am Alexander.
2. How did you end up in design?
I guess it’s just the way I have been wired. People are just blown away by the way I think, the things I do and the antics I get up too.
3. Can you tell us a bit about your latest project?
Nope sorry it’s a secret
4. What role do you think design/designer’s will play in the next 10 years?
It all depends what angle you look at designers. Designers can be both the creators and destroyers. When it comes to the hippy issues such as environmental impact. I just wish everyone would just stop preaching and harping on about sustainable crap. Just do it without the dribble.
5. Which part of the design industry do you think you will venture into?
Fashion, its not just about fabric and plastic
Ring by Alexander.
6. What is your favorite design tool? (traditional, software, hardware or something else?)
I bounce ideas around in this little brain of mine for hours, press print and wham! Bam! There is my product for Sam.
7. Where do you draw your inspiration from?
Not telling.
8. How do you keep up to date with the latest happenings in the industry?
I live it.
9. Do you have a favorite design, designer or design studio?
LifewithBird, Ksubi, Sabre, WhoAmI, Chronicles of Never, Jeremy Scott, CobraSnake and anyone else I forgot to mention.
10. What are your five all time favorite books, magazines, films or websites?
retrospecs
thecobrasnake
vivecoolcity – they throw a rude party.

11. What and where was the last awesome meal you ate?
Frog in Pond at the Iris Buffet or El Grande Parma challenge. I did not sleep a wink after attempting to eat the impossible.
12. Thanks for privileging Design Droplets with this opportunity to showcase you, any final thoughts or what piece of advice would you give to someone embarking on a journey into the world of design?
Just be yourself, stuff what everyone else thinks and have fun.
