Alex started off graduating as a designer, and worked for a small company where he also gained experience in digital communications. During this time, he began to question whether the design industry could truly be sustainable, and from there whether our current economic system could ever be. Hoping to find out, he quit and did a postgraduate degree in Environment and Development. Now with an interest in the environment and economics, he enjoys using his mixed background as a comms assistant for The Mint, and works in the public sector as part of the UK’s (admittedly inconsistent) efforts to go net zero.
