Testimonial:
Nathan Williams [ Founder, Kinfolk ]As Kinfolk’s design director, Alex has been a positive force of change for the company and brand, helping us expand our creative vision and serving as the architect of our magazine’s redesign. In a short time, we’ve grown to trust and rely on him — he always works tirelessly to overcome obstacles large and small, and deftly uses design to elevate Kinfolk’s content without ever overwhelming it.
Nick Defty [ Director, YCN ]We’ve enjoyed a long and rich relationship with Alex, throughout which he’s brought an intelligent and refined approach to the creative direction of our books and magazines. His deep understanding of our brand, and its natural expression in print, has led to enormous commercial return, stakeholder delight and a shelf full of design awards.
Will Hudson [ It's Nice That ]Designer and art director Alex Hunting is quickly establishing himself as one of the go-to names for magazine design.
Alex Ostrowski [ Creative Director, Lovers ]Something of a master craftsman, Alex understands editorial design to a depth few designers reach. No wonder brands are relying on his leadership to originate and frame content with genuine integrity.
