PRODUCT
DESIGN ENGINEER
I’m Alex, a senior product designer and design engineer. I take responsibility for how a product works, looks and feels, from understanding the problem to the interface people use.
My work spans product experiences, design systems, websites and brand. I work in Figma and Pen, and directly in the codebase, building and refining interfaces with AI agents. Alongside the product, I develop the components, design rules and workflows that keep new work consistent with its direction.

WHAT I DO
Product design
I work out what the product should do and how it should feel to use, before anything is built. That means the flows, how information is organised, the interface and its visual style, and where AI should act on its own and where it should stay predictable. Websites, brand and motion are part of the same job.
Design engineering
Then I build it in your codebase. The interface arrives as pull requests and Storybook components, not as files to hand over. I set up the tokens and components, prototype in code, and write the agent skills and review steps that keep new screens consistent. Your engineers keep the APIs, integrations and performance.
METHOD
I run agent pipelines
Agent skills and subagents that take a story from spec to a pull request in the product repository. A person signs off at the prototype and at the gate.
