About

Alex Fukui standing in Muir Woods.

I am a full-stack developer and designer based in Minneapolis, with a focus on front-end, user experience and design. My past work has included web sites for small business, poster designs and comics.

As a graduate of the Thinkful Web Engineering cohort, I have also created multiple full-stack apps using React and Express in solo and collaborative settings. My favorite tools for design include Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Moqups.

In my free time, I go to karaoke, cook and play Civilization 6. I love figuring out systems, learning about design trends, trying out curry recipes and playing with my cat Beef.
