Alex Lafferty

Graphic Designer / Photographer

Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Graphic designer, photographer, visual creative, and marketing strategist of almost a decade of professional experience in the creative and marketing world. In favor of a little flash, but a lot of polish to a well-crafted message. The world is visual and user experience oriented, and I pride myself in looking at the big picture, but also never overlooking the little details.
