Alexander Bohn’s Summary
I’m Alexander Bohn, and I am a graphic designer. Currently, I am located in New York City, and I am available for freelance work. From kerning to folding to drafting to coding, I design, define, detail, and direct — with the sort of perspective, consideration, and rigor fostered and tempered by ten years of multidisciplinary design practice.
Alexander Bohn’s Specialties:
Graphic design for print, web, and motion; systems design and architecture for web; identity design; type design; art direction; design writing; motion and video production.
