Alexia Cohen

Alexia is a Venezuelan-Belgian-American designer, currently working at argodesign in New York City as digital product designer. After graduating from MFA Products of Design, Alexia worked as a freelance design consultant, co-leading the design and production of The Human Account project exhibition for Dalberg Design and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. During her graduate studies, she was a TEK-TILE Fellow at the Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator where she collaborated with 14 designers and engineers to develop textiles with embedded electronics. Alexia’s MFA thesis DARE + DEFY: A Woman’s Place in the Great Outdoors explores a women’s role in the outdoors, yielding a suite of design offerings that are meant to honor, amplify and celebrate women’s position within this space, ultimately arguing for a more inclusive and diverse outdoors sphere. Before her graduate studies, Alexia spent 10 years working as a jeweler and arts educator, actively exhibiting work, as well as teaching and managing the Jewelry Studios at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
