About Alexander

I'm a creative with a background in engineering and analytics. UX design is exciting because I can apply critical thinking to a whole new set of variables. I was originally drawn to both chemical engineering and data analytics because I liked untangling and solving complex problems. Turns out I also enjoy working in the world of color, shape, and type.

When I’m not in Figma, I love karaoke, roller-skating, or even karaoke roller-skating!

Before UX Design

Did you have Chemical Engineering on your bingo card? I graduated with a degree in ChemE and worked at an ethylene amine petrochemical plant in Freeport, Texas. I hated that job though, so I kept pivoting until I found UX design. I uprooted my life in Texas to take a chance on design, and through some sleepless nights and lucky breaks I landed at Microsoft.
