Hiya, I’m Alex. I’ve helped teams at theScore, Jobber, MoMA, KUDO, and Produktiv build world class digital experiences. I also work closely with Figma on Friends of Figma. Nice to meet you!
Away from the screen I can usually be found building keyboards, modding gameboys, reading, and scouring the net for interesting interactive art. I’m most active on threads & posts, but if neither suit ya I’m also on twitch, youtube, cohost, mastodon, and bluesky.
Let’s work together
I’m currently open to select contract & consulting roles in product design, design management, and product strategy. Feel free to drop me a line or check out some of my work samples. You can also have a look at my references on LinkedIn.
