Alex Kaplaux

Designer

Munich, Germany
I have been working in the Design industry for over 10 years. In this time, I have come to realize that I highly enjoy seeing the world through visual and material software that a designer faces daily. A designer is an „architect of life“. You understand and deliver the information that is lacking, you obtain knowledge over new software and start experimenting with different ideas; this in return opens a whole new world of creativity in yourself. This is exactly what has happened to me!

My life has always been сlosely connected with sports. From the childhood I have played football and boxed to keep my physical health in a good condition. To improve my strategy skills I also play chess and checkers. When I started my designer career, I worked for a small family business in Kharkiv, where I attended exhibitions, conferences, had access to the most informative books and films. Then I moved to Kiev to improve my professional skills as a part of the big ukrainian agency Fedoriv. This experience led me to the desire to share my experiences with others, to inspire them to be a designer too. Thus, later I moved on to being a curator in a design school. During that period I also worked in UAE, Dubai, where I learned the ways, that foreign companies work and their approaches.
