Testimonials
Kind words from folks I've worked with.
Alex has led the transformation of the Cado platform from one of deep design debt to a design-forward way of thinking where we deliver meaningful improvements on a continual basis - much to the delight of internal and customer stakeholders.
Alex's unique blend of technical expertise, design acumen, understanding of process, and commitment to design culture has been absolutely central to that transformation, and I feel fortunate to witness and experience that.
Paul StampDirector of Product Management at HashiCorpAlex is a rare combo of skills: A product designer with a strong, clean aesthetic and an arsenal of technical expertise. He's always able to keep to high UX standards while making incredibly smart design choices that enable the rest of the content and engineering team to function like a well oiled machine.
A great designer to brainstorm with and always the first person I would go to for feedback.
