About

Portrait of Alexandra Citra

I studied Cognitive Science and Literature at UC San Diego. One taught me how people think, the other how they feel their way through a story. Since then I've worked in the space between: designing products that make sense, and telling stories that make people care. I do my best work on problems that don't belong to a single discipline.
