Hey, I'm Alec!

I design friendly & intuitive products

I'm a 3x founding designer, versatile problem solver, creative thought partner and collaborative teammate. Most recently, I led a design team of four and helped Catch grow from 0→700k users. I love building new things and get my energy from diving into practical problems with people who feel the same.

I love solving problems, online & offline

Lately I've been really into building stuff with my hands, like a bike shed, a shoe cabinet, and a new set of stairs, among other things. When I'm not working on a project, you'll find me hanging out with my quirky dog Lola, vacuuming with a good podcast, or playing soccer.

Here's what teammates have to say

“
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.”

Nico Perdomo

CEO, Catch

“
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.”

Steve Selzer

Head of Design, Bungalow

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

Dhruv Gami

Director of Technology, U.S. Green Building Council

“
Alec is the best designer that I have had the chance to work with. He’s principled, adaptable and innovative. 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 and inclusive environment.”

Megan DeValle

Product Lead, Catch

“
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.”

Patrick Perini

VP of Product, Raydiant

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

David Newson

Executive Director, TEDx Soma

My story

2012

I started a company!

Flippo was a student-to-student delivery service that I started while I was in college. I started learning design. We facilitated 400 deliveries on campus.

Let's take this outside 🏕️

I'm excited about opportunities to create practical, positive impact on people and the planet, especially ones involving tangible products or in-person experiences.
