Product design leadership rooted in people-first teams, strategic clarity, and end-to-end design excellence.

People-First Teams

I mentor, empower, and create a culture of trust, collaboration, and honest feedback so teams can do their best work.

Trust

I foster an environment of mutual trust by promoting transparency, reliability, and accountability. The goal is to build confidence in individuals and the team, empowering ownership and collaboration to drive shared success and meaningful outcomes.

Strategic Clarity

I turn early ambiguity into clear, actionable strategy by bringing structure to the design process. I help teams blend creativity with rigor to deliver solutions that are visionary, validated, and scalable.

Discovery

I start by aligning stakeholders and defining goals, then conduct generative research to uncover user needs and business priorities.  Insights are deepened through data analysis, domain expertise, and business impact assessments, clarifying opportunities and risks.

End-to-End Design Excellence

By combining people-first leadership with strategic clarity, I guide products from research to launch with strong craft, scalable systems, and practical processes that drive impact for both the business and the user.

"For two years, I had the opportunity to be on the team that Alex was a director of. During that time, Alex was deeply committed to the growth and success of our team, leading with empathy and support. He led the team through major product changes and always kept a positive outlook despite any challenges. He made deep connections with our cross-discipline partners, and consistently fostered a collaborative environment so that we could all reach our goals. I have no doubt that any organization he is a part of will benefit greatly from his skill and dedication."
