About

Hi, I'm Alex Austin. I am a creative director and illustrator based in Austin, Texas. Originally from the land of kickflips and microchips: San Jose, California. My art school days were spent in San Francisco where I attended the San Francisco Art Institute and the Academy of Art University. I have also lived, loved, and worked in Los Angeles, New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

Thoughtful storytelling with heart is what I specialize in. For thirteen years I have been building strong brands as a designer and creative leader.

What is wheelhouse for me?

  • Authentic Storytelling

  • Hands-on Digital Illustration and Animation

  • Rebranding Creative Agencies and Startups

  • Driving Marketing Campaigns that Deliver

  • Designing Meaningful User Experiences

  • Inspiring Creative Team Collaboration

  • Platform User Interface Design

When Iā€™m not working hard to move the needle for creative agencies and startups, you can find me skateboarding, hiking, having art time with my kids, or working on my passion project Alex Austin Comics.
