My name is Alexander Ross Charchar, and the printed page, the digital pixel, graphic design, creative ideas, and all kinds of pretty things pull from me an excitement which cannot be compared.


I wrote a rather personal piece for the finely crafted The Manual, I was lucky enough to work with some of the coolest people on the planet while I was typography editor at Smashing Magazine, I’ve been humbled to have my writing featured and linked to by kottke, The Wall Street Journal, 37 Signals and Big Think, and was giddy when interviewed by one of my favorite sites, Elezea.


I’m a very lucky guy and I love what I do.

If you’d like to get in contact with me, I’d love to hear from you, so please do feel free to email me, or find me on Twitter.

Retinart is my playground and this design is deliberately still a baby. I wanted to develop it in front of you and try new things along the way. I have a number of things to do, so things will evolve slowly.
