I'm Alexander, a design leader & product strategist

Alex working outside.

Overview

I'm an agent of good UX. A strategic leader with 10+ years of experience in turning ideas into products. I work across the full spectrum of the end-to-end design process, from research and guiding strategy all the way to shipping scalable solutions with real people (and business) value.
At IBM, I guided key initiatives with world-class brands like PepsiCo and Google.
From running workshops to mentoring junior designers, I care a lot about good people, good products, strong relationships and keeping things human.

About

My journey began at Blue Cross Blue Shield. Through modernizing their online member portal I learned the importance of accessibility in design. I developed a human-centered problem solving mind-set from the very beginning.

From New Orleans to New York, I've traded one vibrant city for another and through it all my approach to design has always been the same:

Stay curious about how products work and have genuine empathy for the people who use them.

Outside of work I really love movies, game night with friends, and I paint and play guitar. Oh, I'm also 400 days into a Spanish learning streak, vamos a hablar!
