Hello, my name is Alex Bergin. I am a 20 year old graphic designer from Pinckney, MI pursuing a B.A. in Graphic Design at the College for Creative Studies. Please take a look at my work and feel free to contact me if you’re interested in learning more.

I am currently employed at ShannonLoren, a small marketing company in Royal Oak, but I'm always available for freelance work on the side. If you're interested in working with me, please send me an email to get in touch.

Printed media and interactive design are my specialty, but I dabble in everything from photography to architecture, raytracting, furniture construction, landscaping, and more. I have developed this broad skill set with the basic concepts of graphic design in mind, viewing every creative endeavor as a design problem that can be solved in the same way I'd design a letterhead or lay out a web site. Experience has shown me the most consistent way to achieve a successful solution is to rely on math (ironically the bane of many a talented creative individual) to lay the foundation for all of my projects.

I came to the conclusion that a mathematical system was the surest way to design because of the endless examples of patterns and structures that can be found in nature. The way smaller simpler components make up complex larger ones in beautiful fractalinear forms. The similarity, for example, in the way all the cells in a person make up a body in the same way many individual glyphs make up a book or stars in a galaxy or atoms in a molecule or pieces to a drafting compass (above) was too great a source of inspiration to ignore.

I'm currently living in Detroit in the Park Shelton and occasionally visit home to work odd hours on my neighbors farm harvesting, planting, taking care of livestock, and building. In my free time, I enjoy outdoorsy stuff like running, swimming, soccer, biking along with activities in the great indoors like playing video games (I love Minecraft and I'm on Steam), sleeping in, and watching movies.
