Alexander Ortiz

Photographer | Copywriter | Creative Storyteller

Alexander is a creative storyteller, idea architect, and future award-winning creative director. A proud native New Yorker, he draws inspiration from his Bronx upbringing and Afro-Latino heritage to help people and brands translate culture into moments and stories that spark meaningful and narrative-shifting conversations.

In 2024, he was recognized by ADCOLOR as a rising leader in the media, tech, and advertising industry and in 2025 he joined Droga5 as a Copywriting & Art Direction fellow for the D5in10 program.

When Alex needs a creative reset, he is either busy running a marathon, on a backpacking solo trip in Costa Rica, or at the New York Botanical Garden touching grass (literally).

  • Assistant Director of Communications & Marketing, NYC Health + Hospitals, June 2023 - Present

  • Creative, The Lives of Men, March 2025 - Present
