ALAINA MACKE

she/they

From the moment I set out on my design adventure (cue Bilbo Baggins), I carried a bold dream, fueled by a passion for art and armed with a brand-new MacBook that initially felt like a puzzle waiting to be solved. Fast forward, and my dream of becoming a designer is not just alive; it's thriving. My love for art remains a strong force, and the days of contemplating my MacBook’s destruction are long behind me.

Creating on the computer is my strength, but there's an undeniable thrill in stepping away from the screen, giving my eyes and mind a well-deserved break. Beyond design, my world expands into photography, glass sculpting, painting, and illustration.

My passions extend far beyond the digital multiverse. Baking, comics, horror movies, concerts, hiking, bowling, and savoring a perfectly crafted glass of lemonade—they all play a part in my life. As an advocate for Operation Smile, I dedicate time to volunteer work, contributing not only to this cause but also at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and local animal shelters.

Just because someone stumbles & loses their path, doesn’t mean they’re lost forever.
