Bio
Alex is majoring in the Design and Visual Communication program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and is currently in his senior year. He often applies his traditional art skills in painting and drawing into his projects and likes to start by sketching ideas before making designs digital. These skills have helped him pay close attention to detail and create effective compositions within his work. This individual has recognized that our world is constantly changing and that we need to adapt to these shifts whether it is by creating new technology, products or simply changing our ways of thinking in order to solve these issues. Empathy is a trait that he thinks is very important to have because in order to create successful design work we must be able to put our selves in other peoples shoes to make their lives better.

Description
XPOSE is an app that provides opportunities for students in public education to be involved with various creative workshops. Many public schools in the United States are not properly educating the arts to students nor giving them opportunities to utilize their creative potential. Students have the ability to bring workshops into their classroom through the app that are made and funded by verified organizations. The students are encouraged to take photos and videos of the projects they work on along with a description of the different learning strategies they utilized and upload them to their profiles. The photos and videos will then be automatically shown on the trending feed where students across the nation can view them.
Mission
Our company strives to give students a creative environment that will help promote the importance of diverse thinking by exposing it through our app.
Vision
Our vision is to get students and teachers talking about the importance of creativity and implement similar ideas and learning strategies from the workshops into public schools.
