Alex Center shares his journey from insecure art student to founder of his eponymous design studio. Growing up in the '90s, he discovered confidence through art classes and developed a relationship with brands that made him feel important. 

After a disillusioning internship at the New York Knicks, he found his calling at Vitamin Water, working alongside marketing legends like Rohan Oza and eventually collaborating with Collins on a major rebrand. The pivotal moment came when Brian Collins refused to validate his decision to start a studio, instead telling him "it needs to come from inside you." 

Seven years later, Center has built 25+ brands from scratch, earning international recognition not by working with the biggest brands, but by creating the brands of the future—challenging the status quo and helping people belong.
