Hi! My name is Alex Krepsik and I’m so glad to be a part of the Stories Untold team! I was born in the states but spent the majority of my childhood overseas in various southeast asian countries. Growing up as a third-culture kid gave me opportunities I never thought I’d be grateful for. Most of my life has been spent learning outside, understanding different cultures, languages, and religions, and experiencing things not many people can. Having exposure to the world and it’s realities has shaped me into a multicultural individual, and sparked my dream to help others however I can. In my life I’ve had exposure to living in various situations and I’ve seen what trauma can do to a person, whether it be visible or not. When I found out about Stories Untold I was thrilled to see people my age using their voices to speak their truth and share their experiences as well as advocate for those who can’t, I hopped on the opportunity. Helping people has always been something I’ve felt drawn to and being able to use my creative abilities for a cause that I am so deeply connected to has fulfilled that dream. Now, living in a city just north of Chicago, I’ve had more chances to help others around me and have my voice heard. Now, young voices matter more than ever and supporting movements and ideas that bring society closer to equality is only fair. I am proud to follow through with ambition in graphic design and create content that people can not only relate to, but view as important. My love for the digital arts is connected to my love for creation and unique mindset, after all there is more to anything than meets the eye. I'm so glad to be a part of this and I can't wait to see where the future of Stories Untold heads!
