I am a skilled UX Leader, Mentor and Designer, with a strong background in 3D product design & development.
I began my career as a Mechanical Engineer before following my passion for Digital Design and moving over to 3D CAD. As such, it has added another “dimension” to my UX design approach.
Heading up UX, working for these large automotive companies, designing products that seamlessly integrate into
customers lives, helping the smallest startups to solve their big problems through lean design, as well as starting my own
software company and doing it tough, resulted in me being well across working with developers, other designers,
management and clients.
I'm a pragmatic person who values attitude, humility, empathy and growth. I look at the big picture and focus on achieving
results, not only for my clients, but the company as well. I firmly believe the relationships we create and maintain define us
as people and businesses.
"When you start looking at a problem and it seems really simple, you don't really understand the complexity of the problem. Then you get into the problem, and you see that it's really complicated, and you come up with all these convoluted solutions. That's sort of the middle, and that's where most people stop... But the really great person will keep on going and find the key, the underlying principle of the problem - and come up with an elegant, really beautiful solution that works."
"Good design is as little design as possible. Less, but better - because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity."
"Alex is a real professional. His drive and enthusiasm are unmatched in what I've seen in my career so far. It's addictive. In a good way :) He is approachable and an excellent team player. In the 3 months I spent teaching him UX Design, I learned about setting goals, communication and his addictive enthusiasm was one of the triggers in myself deciding to dive into learning iOS development. I'd pick Alex on my team. Not only because of his vast experience, but especially for the positive, can-do energy."
Alex is a brilliant innovator whose rare mix of skills in product development, design and user experience, coupled with his well humoured and positive team attitude make him an excellent asset for any growing business. Alex is passionate about his work and brings a highly valuable breadth of interests and life experiences that compliment his work while making the practical aspects of everything he designs much more likely to hit the mark. Alex is also a really decent person to work with and his generosity of spirit and positive energy are really well received by all of his colleagues. I'm really pleased that I've met and have the opportunity to work with Alex!
Keep up the good work Alex, over the past 6 months your ability to understand and pre-empt business needs and requirements is very impressive. You’ve helped shape On a Roll 21 into a first class knowledge content delivery platform, that is proving to be hugely valuable to En Masse and its clients. Your extremely thoughtful, thorough and professional in your approach to work, the user experiences and journey's you've created for On a Roll 21 are spot on..
"In working with Alex I have found him very hard working and diligent. People like to be around Alex. He is certainly on a path to prosperity."
Alex joined our team as a UX specialist to support the delivery of retail experiences on Telstra’s eCommerce assets. In two years, I’ve seen Alex grow into an analytical, objective and questioning UX designer; skills that are absolutely necessary in driving the right outcomes for customers and the business. On a personal level; he’s just an awesome bloke that I recommend as an all-round asset to any design team.
"I had the great privilege of working with Alex on a UX project for my company, My Green World. Alex was the primary consultant for My Green World for the entirety of this project, and he demonstrated a deep sense of understanding of the company's direction, values and vision. Alex managed all aspects of My Green World's user experience journey and provided me with invaluable information, tools, designs and resources to help my organisation reach its full potential. Alex is innovative, dedicated and hard-working, and I would highly recommend him. Thank you for all your hard work Alex, and I hope to work with you again in the future."
"Alex has been consulting with No Agent Property on our first step into mobile applications. I always welcome his input and insight. He has proven himself to be self motivated, understanding and competent. I look forward to working on new projects with Alex!"
"I have worked with Alex on a number of projects and always found him to be motivated and flexible, focused on understanding the issues and desired outcomes. He ensures he meets the requirements and thinks beyond his direct area of scope to propose alternatives, adding value to the team."
"Alex has worked on diverse projects for me, providing design guidance and expertise. His work ethic and his ability to deliver all that he promises, sets Alex apart from the rest. Alex receives the highest form of recommendation from me and others that work with him, and that is the fact that people keep coming back for his expertise, guidance and integrity."
"It's actually a rare and precious thing to discover what it is you love to do, and I encourage you to remain unapologetically consumed by it. Be faithful to your gift and very confident in its value."
