meet This month’s Guest speaker:
Alex J. Fowkes is an Artist, Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Muralist, and Author—though his real title might be "CEO of Over-committing." Proudly neurodivergent, he also holds the honorary roles of Vice President of Forgetting Things and Chief of Starting Projects.
With an impressive client list that includes Sony Music, Toyota, Yeti, Urban Outfitters, Airbnb, Arcteryx, Yes Snowboards, Nordstrom, Pepsi, Penguin, Coleman, Stella Artois, and more, Alex has been on the go since founding his own design company in 2013.
Embracing the chaos and trusting his gut and what Alex likes to call "blind faith", Alex now calls Squamish, BC home—ready to chase both his artistic and mountain-inspired dreams, one slightly distracted step at a time.
