Hiya, I’m Alex. I help teams build world class digital* products. You might know me from theScore, Jobber, MoMA, KUDO, or Produktiv. I am also a contractor on Figma’s community team, focusing on Friends of Figma.

When I’m not at work I can usually be found building keyboards, modding gameboys, and digging around the net for interesting interactive art. You can follow me on twitch, youtube, cohost, mastodon, and bluesky.

*and sometimes physical!

I am currently available for select consulting contracts. Please feel free to reach out by email and have a look at some work samples below. You can also have a look at my references on LinkedIn. More work and references are available by request.

Work Experience

UX Design Manager, theScore

2023 - Now!

Empowering the sports fan's experience.

At theScore (a wholly owned subsidiary of PENN Entertainment) I manage a team of designers focusing on wagering, engagement, retail & hardware, and UX writing.

On November 14th, 2023 we launched ESPN Bet in the US. Within the first week the app climbed to #8 in Overall Free on Google Play and was the #1 Top Free App in Apple’s App Store.

Community Advocate, Figma

2021 - Now!

A design platform for teams who build products together.

I help manage the central hub of Friends of Figma, Figma's global community platform. My primary focus is on forum moderation, facilitating digital events, contributing to growth strategy, and sharing updates on analytics.

In April 2021, a year after launching, our primary channel had grown by 1050% and member's were sharing an average of 15,000 messages per month. As of July 2023 growth has climbed to over 2000%.

In 2022 I trained and co-led a team of moderators during Figma's 24 hour digital conference, Config. I also contributed to updated moderation processes to be used for future live events.

Product Designer, MoMA

The Museum of Modern Art connects people from around the world to the art of our time.

At MoMA I worked on adapting a strategic vision produced by IDEO to a more grounded technological scope. I worked with project managers to establish a roadmap of deliverables, created hi fidelity templates and interactive prototypes for a new digital home for members, and contributed to MoMA’s digital design system. Work also included updating editorial templates to better point to the new digital member home.

A little team solving big problems.

At Produktiv I led and embedded design team within Sun Life, focusing on new tools to help new and existing clients learn more about offered products.

Other products included new digital products for Harbourfront Centre, Future Capital, Lightyear Health, Xanadu, Coral, and Aspira. I also established a core set of principles and processes for Produktiv's design team that enabled greater scale and decreased product delivery time.

The expansive collection of work delivered is too great to show here, so I’ve linked Figma files for each project on my Work Samples page.
