Alek Hernandez
Office Administrative Assistant | Front Office Leader
Alek approaches his role with an open mind and heart, and a diligent work ethic in supporting the office wherever he is needed.
Born and raised in Florida, Alek is a recent transplant. He moved to San Francisco after finishing his undergraduate concurrent degree at the University of South Florida in Dance, with a concentration in modern, and Integrated Public Relations and Advertising. He uses the skills he gained in his dual degree to support the operational efforts at WDA with a creative mindset.
Alek is influenced in his life and work by a few of the core values he gained in his fraternity, Beta Theta Pi: intellectual growth, integrity, and mutual assistance. He employs these values through his eagerness to acquire new knowledge in our field, staying true to himself and always offering a hand to those in need. Outside of the office you can find Alek exploring the new city with his Yorkie, enjoying the views from Dolores Park or dancing at a local studio.
- Favorite city for architecture?
- San Juan, Puerto Rico. The vibrant buildings and cultural landmarks remind me of my heritage and how fun the city can be.
- Favorite work of design?
- Fashion design because it is an endless art to express yourself. It has been used to show love, protest, hate and all the in-between.
