Alexandra Becket graduated with a B.A. in Studio Art from University of California, Santa Cruz.  She also attended L’Accademia Delle Belle Arti in Bologna, Italy for a painting program.  While in Italy she began painting on fabric, which has become her signature medium.  Original textile designs are created on silk with water-based  paints.

Alexandra’s Los Angeles-based textile design business, Unico Studio focuses on the creation of one-of-a-kind prints for the home décor and fashion industry. Her designs are acquired by high-end fabric manufacturers, home décor companies and clothing designers, including Anthropologie, BCBG, Rozae Nichols, Vince Clothing, Trina Turk, Pottery Barn, Target, Guess, Bebe, Quicksilver, Tadashi, Laundry by Shelli Segal, St. John and many more.

In addition, Alexandra’s wall hangings, paintings, and home décor accessories have been featured at Los Angeles showrooms and retailers including Denizen Design Gallery, LA Moderne, Rehab Vintage, Modernway, the Fabrik Factory, Design Within Reach, among others.

Alexandra’s recent focus has been ModOp Design, the home renovation company she and her husband Greg began in 2010.  Alexandra is the designer of the renovations and stages the homes with vintage furniture, custom made accessories and original artwork. She creates stylish and comfortable living spaces which showcases the home’s best qualities.  Her work on the ModOp properties has led to design consulting and interior design.  

Alexandra spent her childhood creating artwork that reflected the natural curiosities that surrounded her during weekend retreats to the Santa Ynez Valley.  She has also been influenced by her hometown Los Angeles and her artistic roots.  As the granddaughter of Welton Becket, the architect who designed some of L.A.’s most famous landmarks (Capitol Records, the Music Center, the Beverly Hilton, the Pan Pacific Auditorium, etc.) she is influenced by the geometry of modernism, the sharp angles, graceful curvature and the relationship to the outdoor environment.  Alexandra is dedicated to recreating the colors, patterns and forms that inspire her in a personal and unique way.
