My Name is Alex Girón, I’m a graphic designer and web developer liv­ing in beau­ti­ful Old Town Alex­an­dria, VA. I’m the co-founder and cre­at­ive dir­ector at nclud, a cre­at­ive web design agency based in Wash­ing­ton, DC.

I am also the founder of CSS Beauty, a web­site which pur­pose is to show­case beau­ti­ful web­sites cre­ated using Cas­cad­ing Style Sheets. I ran the web­site for seven years and saw it become one of the top resources for stand­ards based web design/development. You can learn more about why I star­ted CSS Beauty by read­ing this inter­view.

In my spare time I like to explore and learn about code, design, and any­thing I find inspir­ing.
