Alexander DeWahl
Co-founder, Scissor Studio
I design and engineer sales-driven platforms for architecture, furniture, fashion, and culture: refined, performance-driven interfaces on the back-end infrastructure their businesses run on daily.
I also own the deal: sourcing the opportunity, shaping the pitch, negotiating terms, and closing, then carrying every engagement to the finish on time, with a consistently high win rate.

Experience
Résumé →Scissor Studio
Co-Founder, Designer & Creative Director
2020–present · New York
A design and engineering practice building digital infrastructure for fashion, art, and culture. I lead the commercial side of the studio: pitching, pricing, and closing engagements, then running product, team, and timeline so every project ships on schedule. We work directly with clients to design, build, and operate the systems their businesses run on: e-commerce, collection management, publishing platforms, and custom applications. Design earns the client’s confidence; engineering and well-maintained systems earn their loyalty; most engagements begin with a single build and mature into years under management. Engineered across the full stack with SvelteKit, TypeScript, Node, Shopify, Supabase, and Stripe, from WebGL point-cloud viewers to production storefronts, deployed on Cloudflare, Railway, and GCP. Branding and marketing are part of the same engagement. Clients include TANIA, SONY Music / OVO, Luar, American Express, Tresemmé, Woolmark, Shayne Oliver Group, 3D Model Management, and CODE Magazine.
