About – M Alejandra Fajardo

M. Alejandra Fajardo

I am a communications specialist and urbanism professional driven by a simple belief: the way we design our cities and businesses, and how we communicate about them, shapes our communities' feelings, connection, and willingness to thrive together. With a Bachelor of Architectural Studies (Urbanism concentration) from Carleton University and over a decade of experience in graphic design, marketing, and community engagement, I bridge technical insight with clear, kind, and inclusive storytelling.

My work sits at the intersection of urban wellbeing, engagement, and impactful communications. I have collaborated with interdisciplinary teams in architecture, urban planning, and community organizations to create social media campaigns that boost visibility by over 73%, facilitate inclusive workshops and gamified events that bring diverse voices into conversations about density and housing, and coordinate and manage marketing materials that turn complex ideas into compelling, accessible narratives.

Fluent in English and Spanish, certified in IAP2 public participation, and proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud and Canva, I specialize in creating story-based materials that educate, inspire, and invite participation. Whether writing blog posts, designing graphics and short-form videos for Instagram and LinkedIn, managing website content, or supporting business development, I centre equity, accessibility, and human connection in everything I do.

What excites me most is contributing to happier, healthier, and more inclusive communities. Efforts of thoughtful design and communication ripple outward. I am passionate about supporting organizations in amplifying their efforts and making urban life better for everyone.

Let’s connect and build something meaningful together.
