Alexander Smith
Visiting Instructor
Alex Smith is the CEO of Graphient, a software startup working on data visualization products. Prior to founding Graphient, Alex worked as a freelance designer, animator and illustrator on a wide variety of print, television and web projects for clients ranging from MTV to Walmart. Alex believes that there are identifiable intellectual methods in the practice of Graphic Design, and that by identifying those methods the students can synthesize their own theory of what it means to be a designer. His own experience has lead him to define how these methods can be applied as broadly as possible, often crossing traditional boundaries between disciplines.
Alex holds a BFA from Pratt's Communications Design department and is currently pursuing a Masters in Industrial Design at Pratt.
