Experience
Hi, I'm Alex - a Very Creative Person and aspiring art director that specializes in translating client ideas into captivating illustrations, graphics, and compelling video content.
With almost 30 published children's books, and experience with clients including Bayer, BMO, Deloitte, Element Fleet, Magna, and more, my expertise lies in producing visual media that engages audiences and pushes brand narratives.
In my spare time I travel, volunteer at my local horse barns and camp out in the great Ontarioan wilderness.
Reach out! Find me at the farm. But if that's a little far,
at alex.goubar@gmail.com or @goub_art is just as good.
