Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1977, Alexander experimented with design from a young age, eventually studying Industrial Design at Ort School. After working for a year in a design firm in BA, he moved to Australia at age 20. "Travel inspires", Alexander muses.

It was in Australia that he further graduated from the Queensland College of Art, receiving many design awards, including the Design Institute of Australia Prize "Best Design Student"—noted for his innovative and experimental use of material ranging from jewelry to carton furniture.

At GK Planning & Design in Tokyo he participated in the development of products for clients such as Asahi and Mizuno. He moved to IDEE Headquarters, where he developed a range of low furniture including his acclaimed "skid seaters" and softsofa for Sputnik and defied the
pre-conceptions of existing industrialised products with his "lightflow" light.

He currently collaborates with IDEE/Sputnik, Planex Australia, SIGG, COVO, Artquitect, Escofet and S&G, and is behind the design of the entire Furniture Strategy for Southbank Tafe Brisbane as well as a line of small homewares under his name.

Alexander is currently working in conjunction with In Africa Foundation and African Governments to create sustainability among arts & crafts communities with the vision of creating a vibrant and modern African design style.
