RIGHT.

I love connecting, creating and storytelling.

Ever since I was a lil’ Bex, I’ve always been passionate about the endless stories that surround me: ones I get to capture, create, build, be a part of, learn from, and connect with. My curiosity and thrive for exploring the way we live and communicate has made–and continues to make–my creative journey a wild and adventurous ride. I’ve been many things in the world of art, from musician, to actress, playwright, graphic designer, photographer, bartender, videographer, and creative director.

Currently, I mainly specialize in the photography, design, and writing–but I still fuel all these pieces of my heart and embrace whatever challenge I can get my hands on.

SO.

PHOTOGRAPHER.

Photography probably shines the brightest in my world (with liquid culture is as a big theme). Whether it’s the sport of swimming or the libations of the world–being a lifelong swimmer and former bartender, I really can’t get enough. My connection and fascination with water, sports, people–and how we immerse ourselves into these activities–really hits me deep.

But more truthfully, I’m here for the people. Though water is a theme, what I truly love to do is capture people. Whether that’s portraiture, engagements, weddings, events, or just frolicking with friends –working with people and showing who they truly are, is really why I do what I do.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER.

My area of expertise is in print design–with quite the history in layout design for: catalogs, magazines, ads, and other forms of marketing collateral. Though print and layout an area of focus for me, I also do: branding/visual identity design work (such as logo design, brand guidelines, etc.), packaging design, and web-based work. And last but not least, I’m also a frequent doodler (or more professionally put: illustrator) that loves to explore the moments in our lives…with whimsical cartoons. Animals often included.

WRITER.

My truest background behind all the creative functions come from my love of words. Obsessed from an early age of the workings of our hearts and minds, I started off with song and lyrical writing, that quickly took off into playwriting, short stories, proses, poems, and novels. I now also use this strength to help brands vocalize their stories. Whether that may be, helping them create pieces that reflect their mission and vision, explorations of the services they provide and/or sell, or guest entries from a creative in the industry.

I also.. host two blogs…

Bex’s Journal (Found under the ‘Read’ tab): A space that I share personal reflections, advice for fellow artists, notes on photo shoots, and other things I’ve learned throughout my time in the creative field.

Bar De Bex: My other website that’s all about booze! Bar De Bex is my cocktail blog, and creative service platform for the beverage industry. Here, I share storied cocktails, recipes, educational pieces about the world of libations, gift guides, and also work I’ve done with brands to better their visual and vocal storytelling.

CRAFTSWOMAN.

I often step away from my camera and computer to unplug and work with my hands in a new way. A lot time while I’m crafting, I’ve found great ideas and/or solutions to problems I have. And when I say crafting, I’m primarily referring to making tiny clay creations! I’ve been in love with tiny things for as long as I can remember. So, making my own tiny pots, animals, animal pots, and other figures, only feels right. These can be found at @bexandcrafts and in my Etsy store–where you can get your own Bex creation, and/or a custom piece.
