Alex White: Screen Printer / Designer. Been at it for 6 years now. This is actually my second career, I spent 12yrs in the classroom teaching High School History down here in San Diego – with a series of budget cutbacks I found myself getting pink slipped every May so I decided to make a professional transition towards my passion in design. This soon morphed into an apprenticeship as a screen printer because everyone knows that screen printing is the easiest way to get rich quick!
