Hello! My name is Alex.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Michigan with a bachelor's degree in UX Design and a minor in Computer Science.

Using my experience in both backgrounds, I hope to create a stronger connection between technical departments and the UX process in order to create products that are equally accessible to all.

As a designer, I place a strong emphasis on user-centered design driven by empathy and research. I work in a step-by-step way, involving all stakeholders to ensure that I create experiences that are both easy to use and feasible. Additionally, I firmly believe in the power of minimalism: " Keep it simple, yet significant."
