Nothing has contributed more to Alexandra Gardners success than her failures.

Failure has given me grit, an undeniable knowing that no matter what, I will figure it out,” she says. I am a dyslexic, ADHD, diabetic female working in tech. Everything about that screams, Best of luck, kid; you ain’t gonna make it.

As one of the few senior designers in Colorado blockchain technology, Gardner is a galvanizing voice in the tech community, says her mentor, Meranda Vieyra. She has developed unique, award-winning programs, created nationally recognized education tracks, and is instrumental in innovating for people-centric blockchain technology systems throughout the state and beyond.”

As a designer for WolfPack—a blockchain solution that enables people experiencing homelessness to build work history, earn token funds to purchase goods and prevent wage theft – Gardner and her team won the ETHDenver 2020 Impact Award.

Art is a passion; Gardner completed the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts 2019-2020 Leadership Arts Program and aspires to join its board. As an advocate for marginalized communities, Gardner plans to lead a panel of blockchain community members at Denver Startup Week in a discussion of social justice and minority inequality. Indigo Theory, her ethical hacker group, also leads the industry in developing solutions to current events.

Her No. 1 goal: To use my particular skill set to organize change within my community. I want to be a voice and give a voice to others who feel they don’t have one.”
