Hi, I'm Alex McElravy!
My design perspective is based on art and crafts.
I have always loved bringing ideas to reality. When the toys I wanted didn't exist, I made them. I taped together paper to make customer American Girl accessories and drew my own pictures when coloring books didn't inspire me.
Looking back, I was always designing. I just didn't have a word for it.
I am a strong beliver that we don't have to settle and things can always be made better: whether products, experiences, or just life itself. What interests me about research is searching for clues beneath a problem, and what draws me to design is being able to do something about it.
When I'm not glued to my computer, you can find me:
