Alexandra K. Yaszemski, AY Design

Alexandra is a neuroscientist by training and a self-taught artist. She holds a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry, a Master of Business Administration, and is currently completing her Doctor of Philosophy in Neuroscience.

She describes her commitment to life-long learning as passionate curiosity, which influences her desire to explore various mediums and techniques. She aims to translate her life experiences into something beautiful for others to enjoy.

Alexandra’s current medium is digital artwork with small bouts of exploration into acrylic on canvas and wearable art. Her clean illustration style is extremely versatile. Past commissions have included logo design, scientific illustration, and digital portraiture.

Her expansive education and career have allowed her to call numerous places home across the United States and Europe. Her recent return Rochester, MN to be a caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer’s Disease has evolved her work to encompass authentic connection and living with intention.
