I'm Alex Miller (she/her), a queer, Mexican-American Art Director living in the Bay Area.

I make clean, colorful work through storytelling, close attention to detail, and curiosity about how people connect with brands. I'm drawn to ideas that feel relatable and celebrate culture. The kind of work that makes people feel seen instead of sold to. I care about clarity and intention, especially when things are moving fast.

My journey started at 19, photographing families at a JCPenney Portrait Studio. It was my first real taste of visual work and learning how much weight small moments can carry. Later, I found my footing in the craft beer world as a self-taught photographer and videographer. That's where I fell in love with work tied to culture, community, and real experiences.

These days, I work as an Art Director across concept, design, motion, and video. Being a queer, brown woman without a traditional design degree has shaped how I show up, both in my work and how I collaborate. I lead with empathy and curiosity, and I like building processes that help teams move with confidence. I’m also someone who enjoys mentoring junior creatives and sharing what I’ve learned along the way.

Outside of work, I'm usually on my road bike, listening to vinyl records, working through a word search, going on a photo walk, eating pancakes, or hanging out with my pittie, Rosie. I think the best work happens when people feel like they can be themselves.

You've got ideas. I've got ideas. Let's see what we can make together.
