About Alex Melgosa

I’m a Los Angeles, based creative and geospatial technician with a background in fashion photography, music strategy, and remote sensing. Across both visual and technical work, I’m drawn to projects rooted in purpose, storytelling, and sustainability.My creative foundation began in photography, working with fashion brands and magazines that shared a focus on sustainability and strong visual narratives. That same interest eventually led me to geospatial work, where I now focus on environmental data collection and aerial photography as a Senior Remote Sensing Technician at NV5.At NV5, I operate airborne LiDAR, bathymetric, and thermal sensors, along with Leica and Phase One camera systems for aerial photography projects. This role allows me to combine my creative background with climate-focused work and environmental mapping.Earlier in my career, I spent over a decade in the music industry, including time at Universal Music Publishing Group and Universal Music Group, and worked as a Community Manager for Linkin Park. Today, I continue to consult with artists on Spotify growth and digital strategy. Each step in my path builds on the last, combining creative and technical skills in ways that reflect what I care most about.Say Clients:Anne Winters, Capitol Records, Def Jam, Interscope, Linkin Park, Mike Shinoda, Republic Records, Storm Models, Troye Sivan, Universal Music Group, Universal Music Publishing Group, Virgin RecordsNotable Publications:Elléments, Faddy, Féroce, LA Times, Marie Claire, Moevir, Shuba, StyleCruze
