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.
