Alexander Böhn is a multidisciplinary Principal and Creative Director with 15 years of professional experience blending senior-level programming and MFA-trained graphic design. He designs and engineers end-to-end user experiences—from pixel-level typographic identities to backend microservices—having delivered work for institutions like Sotheby’s, MIT and projects integrated into government environments. A longtime freelancer now seeking full-time engagement, he excels at vertically integrated workflows that let design and engineering inform one another, producing tightly considered, production-ready results. His open-source contributions include backend and build-system improvements to the widely used Halide project, showing comfort with low-level runtime and cross-platform build issues. Equally at home parsing HDF5-backed realtime data stores or obsessing over UI minutiae, he brings a rare fusion of aesthetic rigor and systems-level pragmatism. Based in Delaware City, he prefers collaborating with like-minded, craft-focused teams to build applications that do “wonderful things” for their users.
