designer.

My name is Alex Roessner, and I am an IT professional, designer, and front-end developer based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With over 19-years of professional experience, I have successfully collaborated with various stakeholders to develop websites and applications for academic, conference, departmental, and university-wide usage (with some receiving over 24- million annual visits). I specialize in logo design, have created marketing assets (both print and digital), and produced videos for university events. My technical expertise includes 3D printing, A/V support, managing enterprise print services, maintaining software licenses & servers, workstation management, and data analysis for informed decision-making (notably driving the expansion of clinical healthcare simulation and increasing efficient allocation of technology resources across campus).

For a more detailed description of my qualifications, please see my resume (web, PDF) and portfolio.

I am an avid film enthusiast, photographer, coffee consumer, and all-around maker. I am a fan of technology, not a brand. Lawrence of Arabia is my favorite film, The Decemberists are my favorite band.
