Hey, I’m Alex—a senior product designer who blends user experience design with front-end development.
I build scalable systems using variables and structured frameworks, and I often bridge design and engineering through code—whether building out complex components with-in Figma or developing useful tools for myself and my team.
With a background in fine arts, I bring a strong eye for detail to everything from systems to polished UI. I have 7+ years of experience and have worked across teams ranging from startups to large B2B companies.
Outside of work, I’m usually playing games, illustrating characters, or finding something great to eat.
