Alex Briñas (she/they) is the Senior Visual Designer and Brand Lead at New America.
After earning a Bachelor of Science in Product Design from Stanford University, Briñas worked across a variety of industries and disciplines. Her experience includes co-inventing and crowdfunding a drawing product for kids, designing packaging for organic tea, creating interactive ads for a digital media company, and developing programming for design education and LGBTQIA+ student advocacy at a high school in Japan.
Prior to joining New America, Briñas was a lead communication designer at BCG Digital Ventures (now BCG X). This role involved strategizing and executing a mix of creative projects, such as infographics, websites, UI, branding, social media assets, and pitch decks.
Briñas believes that visual design has the power to tell stories, clarify complex concepts, and inspire change. She is also an advocate for accessibility, inclusion, and equity in design.
In their free time, Briñas can often be found making ice cream, volunteering at a community farm, or caring for houseplants in their apartment in NYC.
