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.

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.

About me
I'm a designer with 10+ years leading design at early-stage startups. I’ve spent most of my career designing for screens, but these days I’m most excited about things you can touch and experiences that bring people together offline.
I recently completed my master’s at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, where I spent a year peeling hot glue off my fingers, wrestling with the 3-D printer, and expanding my toolkit into physical prototyping and tangible interaction design.
I’m currently based in Pittsburgh, working on personal projects, taking long walks with my dog, and building custom furniture. I’m open to collaborating on 0→1 products, getting startups off the ground, or even your dream coffee table.
