Meet the Artist

Alex is a Cincinatti-based designer, illustrator, and creative visionary, building a life filled with art, family, and adventure. Alongside her husband and two kids, she dreams of living abroad—savoring croissants in France or basking under the Australian sun—always imagining the next chapter of their journey.

About Me

A high school Photoshop class is where my love for digital art first sparked. As a sophomore, I earned 3rd place in my school’s art competition—competing against over 3,500 students across all grades. That early recognition fueled my passion and set me on a creative path that’s only grown since.

Now, with over 10 years of experience honing my craft, I’m thrilled to officially launch my studio: Alex Aureolin Design. After years of freelance work, creative exploration, and skill-building, I’m taking the leap into full-time entrepreneurship.

I’m deeply passionate about helping clients turn their excitement and vision into visual identities that truly reflect who they are. Every brand has its own energy, and I love the challenge of capturing that in a way that’s bold, clear, and unmistakably them.

My background goes beyond design—I bring strategic insight and real-world experience into everything I create. I built my own esthetics business from the ground up, handling all branding, web design, and social media marketing. Within the first two months, I booked over 300 clients, driven by cohesive visuals and intentional content. I also helped launch PyfPoint Racing, supporting their branding, content strategy, and social presence—resulting in over 50 million views in under 6 months and tangible sales growth.

Outside of client work, creativity is a constant in my life. I’ve written books, dabbled in editorial photography, designed and tattooed my own pieces, painted murals in my home, and created custom apparel for family reunions and holidays. You’ll rarely find me without my iPad in hand, ready to turn the next spark of inspiration into digital ink.

Whether it's crafting a bold new brand identity or collaborating on a personal creative project, I bring originality, strategy, and heart to everything I create.
