Hi there, I'm Alex.
I have worked as a digital product designer since 2018, and have experience in data-focused industries ranging from consumer analytics to govtech, edtech, and financial services. I have led multiple end-to-end initiatives, from initial research to final delivery.
Like many designers, I found my way to this discipline in a slightly roundabout way. I dove into music and art criticism after graduating, writing for publications like the FADER, DIS, Pitchfork, and others. A lot of the work I wrote about directly registered the effects of computational technology in one way or another. When my friends started applying to grad school, I enrolled in a UX bootcamp.
I like designing products that give people leverage over complex problems, focusing on simplifying unwieldy processes through systems thinking. I am currently looking for new product design opportunities. Feel free to shoot me an email if you'd like to chat.
