Hi! My name is
Alex Ginestra

(pronounced jih-NES-truh)
I'm an Industrial Designer living in Oakland, California. I currently work as the Senior Industrial Designer at The Companion Group in Berkeley, CA. I manage a team of two and work to bring innovative and exciting barbecue, grilling, and outdoor accessories from concept to market for our own family of brands, as well as a variety of retailers from Sur La Table and Williams-Sonoma, to Home Depot and Kroger. From 2014 to 2018, I was the Product Designer for Ronbow, a bathroom products manufacturer based in Fremont, CA. I designed bathroom furniture, accessories, and sinks in a range of styles from contemporary to traditional. My designs for Ronbow have been featured in Architectural Digest, Montecristo magazine, the San Diego Tribune, and Kitchen & Bath Business magazine, and in 2017 I received a 30 Most Innovate Products award from Better Homes & Gardens for my work. I was previously an Assistant Designer for home accessories, wall accessories, storage, and toys at Pottery Barn Kids in San Francisco. In 2012 I earned my BFA in Industrial Design from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco with an emphasis on consumer product and furniture design. |
