An Equity-Focused Digital Product Designer & UX Strategist.

design developed
from a diverse
perspective.
The best type of design is meaningful and makes an impact
I'm Alan.
A divergent thinking designer that maps intuitive solutions to business outcomes
Bridging an engineering background with human-centered design, I transpose complex user needs into intuitive solutions and experiences that everyone can enjoy. I bring over a decade of systems-thinking and user empathy as a systems-integration specialist, solving user needs with “whole-product” solutions, transposing these solutions to be properly implemented via blueprint and artifact. I then took my growth mindset and propensity of continuous curiosity into software. Here, I’ve been continuing my practice as an aspiring staff-level designer—helping teams in creating inclusive and engaging experiences serving, both, B2B and B2C markets for the past 7+ years.

Beyond design, I'm a lifelong learner committed to pushing the boundaries of digital experiences - always curious, always evolving. When I'm not practicing or studying on design, you'll find me bouldering, surfing, or exploring creativity through film photography and playing music with friends. I call St. Augustine home, where my wife and son keep me grounded. We're actively involved with our local special needs parent community, making connections and supporting each other.​​​
