Alex Estrada: Alex Estrada is the Creative Director at Jane.com and has spent the last 8 years specializing in branding, communication, and product design for startups.
Alex grew up in Miami and spent a few years living and working in New York City, so she’s a snob about both pizza and Cuban food. Before coming to Jane, she spent several years designing at tech companies across a spectrum of industries, like Asana, Birchbox, Fab, and Grooveshark. Alex was selected to be a part of Designer Fund’s Bridge fellowship program, and she has also been featured on podcasts such as Design Details and Diseño Cha Cha Cha.
