Hello there,
My name is Austin Alcala and I'm a senior visual designer from the Bay Area. Although I studied industrial design in college, graphic design stole my heart and has been loyal ever since. From streetwear and screenprinting to Tweet campaigns and site launches, I intend to keep growing in any and every avenue of design. Grab your camping gear, cause this is going to be an in-tents journey.

Ok cool
With experience in both agency and in-house corporate settings, I bring best practices when it comes to processes, efficiency, and communication between partners and brands. Not only can I collaborate with others to ideate impactful innovations, but you’ll also find me in the trenches adjusting key frames in after effects and auto layout in figma. My technical, creative, and collaborative prowess make me the mitochondria within any team.
