Alex Holton
Graphic Designer & Illustrator at AHolton Design & Illustration
Senior Designer at Curious Media Inc
Hi there! I’m Alex, a graphic designer and illustrator. I thrive in small to medium collaborative environments and love creating purpose-driven impact with the work that I do. After teaching myself Photoshop at a young age, I studied design at George Mason University and gained a great deal of experience through my internships and involvement with AIGA Mason. When possible, I look for ways to blend my passions with my work. I have a deep love for music, art and the outdoors. Passion breeds passion.

My transition into running a self-owned business has been spent pursuing opportunities with musicians, artists, and generally any purpose-driven company that aligns closely with my passions. This work ranges between a multitude of mediums. I’ve worked on social media campaigns, stock photography sourcing, illustrations, wedding branding/stationery, and motion/video projects. Recent clients include EverFi and The Billie Holiday Theatre.

Communication Designer
As a Communication Designer at Peer Insight, I directly collaborated with and supported the firm’s strategic innovation on projects both internal and client facing by exercising my education and experience in Graphic Design. Project approaches varied widely between print and digital experiences–from workshop posters, books, and storyboarding to websites, digital products, 360° immersive experiences, and animation. Timelines were just as diverse. Ultimately, my goals were always to work with smart people, learn quickly, and at the end of the day make a positive impact. Some of the most notable clients I’ve had the privilege to work with include Nike, AARP, ArcBest, AAMC, PMI and more.
