Alex Plunkett – Art Director, Designer and Videographer
I focus on the spectrum of creative design solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, NGOs and organisations with clear social, cultural and ecological relevance.
Design Practice
My experience includes developing the brand voice for small and globally recognised companies. Making sure that the tonality is on-brand in every visual element and every user flow, is essential to creating a cohesive and lasting impression with the audience.
The very foundation of my work is a holistic understanding of your brand, needs and stakeholders. I offer integrative and collaborative consultation for a wide array of design and business questions, aided by a network of industry experts.

I place huge importance on the uniqueness and usability of digital products in order to create an excellent user experience. From sitemap, walk-throughs and user-journeys to website, app or VR-game, I can support in the conceptual phase of complex projects and develop entire projects using common frameworks like WordPress.
My experience covers the conception and production of short-films, animations, voice-overs, music and sound designs as well as meeting a range of educational, cultural, social and marketing needs. Communication on fixed timelines is vital to creating emotional and engaging interactions.
Whether it’s a brochure, flyer, booklet or poster, my goal is to find the most suitable print products for your communication needs. Selecting special, high quality materials and sustainable production methods – while keeping your communication on point – is something I feel very passionate about. My experience also encompasses the conception and coordination of exhibits as well as the development of identities for festivals and small events.
I was born in Australia yet have enjoyed most of my upbringing and teenage years in Europe. After finishing high school in Hamburg, I returned to Australia to study communication design. Eventually, I was dragged back to Berlin by the vibrant culture, music and pursuit of a career as a designer. Here, I continue to practice multi-disciplinary design in collaboration with a network of creatives and industry experts.
Supporting projects with clear social, cultural and ecological relevance and making the world a more exciting and fairer place, is something I feel most passionate about.
