Alec is the best designer that I have had the chance to work with. He’s extremely comfortable with ambiguity and is unafraid to ask the tough questions. Most importantly, he’s an absolute pleasure to work with–consistently creating a positive, inclusive environment.

Alec is such a wonderfully collaborative creative who knows how to get stuff done.

Even deep into the details of a particular interaction, he never loses the proverbial forest for the trees. And he has an uncanny ability to remind the whole team that behind each tree is a real person with a real goal.

Aside from being a skilled designer and product thinker, the thing I most enjoyed about Alec is his amazing energy, enthusiasm, open–mind, and passion for the work.

I cannot recommend Alec enough. The proof is obvious to me–we wouldn’t have raised tens of millions of dollars, built a product used by so many, and an incredible team culture without him.

Alec is a brilliant designer and has a natural talent for aesthetics, design and user experience.

About me
I’m a multidisciplinary designer with 10+ years of experience leading design at early-stage startups. I'm used to moving quickly, but equally focused on what’s worth slowing down for. When everything is seamless and on-demand, I think good design offers space to focus, moments of play, and genuine human connection—not just doing more, but more of what actually matters.
In my last role, I led a team of four designers at Catch, growing from 0→700k shoppers by creating a more responsible alternative to credit cards. Before that, I worked at Raydiant and Atomic Labs, and have consulted with clients like Bungalow and the U.S. Green Building Council. I also taught UX design at Lambda School, and offer 1-on-1 coaching.
I’ve spent most of my career designing for screens, but these days I’m most excited by things you can actually touch or experience in real life. I recently completed a master’s at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, where I spent a year peeling hot glue off my fingers, interviewing elderly Italians, and wrestling with the 3D printer.
