I’m Alex, thanks for stopping by.

I am a first generation college student from the Lone Star State, Texas. I am currently based in San Francisco but I love to travel and explore new areas. You will most likely run into me hiking mountains, cycling through the city, or deep in design work. I love attention to craft, and focus on creating meaningful designs no matter the project.

For students and early career designers, I was fortunate to receive guidance along my journey from many people. I am always open to chatting about portfolio help, building case studies, and navigating design as a career.

If you would like chat, want guidance on your career, or have questions about my experiences, reach out!

Alex has shown remarkable initiative and resilience throughout his time here. He consistently sought feedback to refine his designs, delivered compelling presentations, and built a strong presence across the team. His ability to synthesize input from diverse sources and thoughtfully incorporate Microsoft’s design principles into his work has been truly impressive. His growth mindset and collaborative spirit will be invaluable assets as he embarks on the next chapter of his career.

I have had the pleasure of working with Alex since the start of the summer. From the moment I interviewed Alex I knew that he was a special student. His questions were intelligent and showed a constant thirst for knowledge and self improvement. If he didn’t know something, he learned it. I truly believe the sky is the limit for Alex. The best compliment I can give him is that when more seasoned designers left meetings with him they were surprised to learn that he was an intern.

From the outset, Alex distinguished himself with his keen eye for detail, strong work ethic, and ability to critically analyze design problems. He quickly grasped foundational typography principles, such as hierarchy, alignment, and spatial balance, applying them with a maturity beyond his level of experience. His projects were not only technically proficient but also conceptually thoughtful, reflecting a deep understanding of how typography shapes communication.

Alex is one of the most impressive young designers I know. Alex's designs showed empathy to a diverse array of patients and a sharp attention to detail. He grew his visual design and UX skills tremendously over the span of this project, and I believe that shows the impact of his tenacious learning style. Alex has made a lasting impression across my organization due to his dedication and increasingly sophisticated work. He inspired our whole team with his positivity and resilience.

Alex has a great attitude and empathy for others, which not only makes him great to work with, but also makes him a successful designer who cares for the experience of the user. Alex displayed talents in organization and logic which makes him excel at early ideation and wrapping his brain around a complex problem. At H-E-B he quickly developed information architectures for an update to our app settings that accounted for complex business and customer needs.

Working with Alex was an absolute joy. He shows up with an incredible level of curiosity, accountability, and commitment to detail and craft. He is always setting and achieving new goals and finding new ways to challenge himself. I look forward to supporting his growth here or anywhere he chooses to take his skills! I can't recommend him enough.
