My name is Alexander, but my friends call me Aleko. I'm 33 years old. I was born and raised in Maryland and my parents were fresh off the boat from Greece. I am a proud Greek/American.

I've loved drawing ever since I was a kid. I spent my early years in AP Art Classes and in high school, I got into graphic design. I was lucky to attend a high school that had a print press, design lab, production space, and dark room. I continued my interest in graphic design and graduated from college with a Degree in Digital Communication. All of this was possible because of my mother, the late Dr. Vasiliki Tsamis Kavouras. She pushed me to stay educated & attend college. I thank her for that push every day. 

After college, I spent my 20s working in the sign industry where I specialized in Graphic Design, Client Relations, Sign Production, Sign Installation, and CNC Machinery. During this time, I had the pleasure of working closely with accounts like BWI Airport, Toyota Central Atlantic Distribution, Johns Hopkins, Northrop Grumman, Cordish Company, Maryland Live Casino, Power Plant Live, Simon Malls, Medstar, MVA, Whiting-Turner, and more.
