About Alexandra Place

http://www.alexplacedesign.com

Alexandra is a designer with a passion for anthropology, culture, and storytelling. Raised in North Carolina, she is currently living in Bavaria, Germany. Her experience as a graphic designer, museum exhibit designer, and trade show exhibit design coordinator has taught her to see the world through a typographic lens. Her first travel blog, 'A Place in Prague', began as a way to keep her parents informed while studying watercolor abroad. Now, she writes 'Travel Typography' to document good design worldwide. Alexandra enjoys writing most about typography and how it is used to communicate ideas, stories, emotions, and attitudes of unique cultures and destinations. A lot of her entries are inspired by local museums, menus, branding, tours or landmarks.
