Half Dutch, half Persian, Brisbane-based graphic designer and pop-culture junkie, Alex Naghavi, has a rare and extremely volatile allergic reaction to writing personal biographies, forcing her to outsource the work you currently see in front of you to a super cool Indian guy named Wahid.

Alex majored in Communication Design at the Queensland College of Art and graduated in 2007 with a minor in breaking hearts. Since then she has won more awards than Ben Hur and displayed a flair for distinctive and engaging work.

Alex prides herself on elegant, clever and functional design, and frequently vanquishes seemingly insurmountable problems with simple yet bold solutions. Much like your grandma, Alex has a great fondness for handmade aesthetics and analogue photography, but unlike your nanna she merges these with modern design principles into a symbiotic amalgamation of old and new.

By day Alex works at Brisbane design agency and hipster-hub, Josephmark. By night, well, by night she often is still working, but when she isn’t, she is usually at the centre of raucousness, consuming food and or beverages with Holga in hand (that’s her camera, not her German girlfriend).

Wahid gets paid $5.37 an hour and likes Van Damme movies and girls in bikins.
