My name is Alex Nowak and I am an illustrator and designer based in Nashville, TN. I am a graduate of Grand Valley State University with a bachelor's degree in Fine Art.
A lot of my inspiration comes from music. I am drawn to the movement, emotion, and rhythm that can be felt during a song or album, and strive to use this inspiration in my work. My passion for music has guided my style and interests in the arts, developing a love for album covers, venue posters, promotional work for musical artists, and more.
When I’m not creating work revolving around music, I work remotely as a project manager, graphic designer and web designer for Lala Projects, LLC. I manage client accounts, write blog articles, and create dynamic web designs & branding packages.
