Alex has been with ThoughtBox since the early days. He burst into the scene with the same open-hearted generosity and deep kindness that sits at the heart of his endeavours today; working closely with Rachel for very little money for almost a year to help shape the website, feeling, design and storytelling of the organisation. His approach is deeply humane - and begins with whomever he works with by connecting with the 'why'. This invitation into the heart of things has - and continues to be - an essential foundation stone for how we work in the world as an organisation; driven by our core values and in service of the human stories beneath it all.
Rooted in his core belief in the goodness of the world, Alex has a rare quality of seeing straight to the heart of the matter and bringing out the essence. It is his gifts that underpin the beauty of our marketing and design work; with every image, website page, document or poster given a quality of care and attention that enables the messaging to resonate on a deep level. Part designer, part wizard, Alex's magic has brought so many parts of ThoughtBox to life, most notably our storybooks (designed on his houseboat in Greece in what was coined \"storybook bay\") and given such care and attention it is palpable when seeing the images jump off the page. He brings such mischief and wisdom to the organisation and enables the rest of the work to happen.
Weaving together an early life of working in corporate marketing with a growing awareness of regenerative practice as a cornerstone for business, Alex's unique design qualities and careful strategic guidance and approach have enabled us to grow together in ways we could never have imagined without him.
