A little about me
Hi, I'm Alexis. I'm a product designer and independent UX consultant. I've always been curious about how things work, why people do things the way they do, and how design can make life a little easier.
I've worked in enterprise software, startups, and independent consulting. Some of my favorite projects have involved learning about industries I knew almost nothing about, talking to the people who actually do the work, and figuring out how to make complicated processes easier to navigate.
I particularly enjoy working with people who aren't necessarily tech-savvy or interested in design. They just need something that works. I love getting to know their world, understanding their frustrations, and finding ways to make their jobs easier.
Lately, I've been spending a lot of time exploring AI, building prototypes, and experimenting with new tools. For example, I've been tinkering with AI voice design, trying to understand how to make synthetic voices express emotion in ways that feel more natural and human. It's the kind of thing I get interested in and end up spending hours exploring just because I want to understand how it works.
When I'm not designing
I'm usually making something, learning something, or researching a subject that caught my attention.
I love cooking and baking, making soap, bookbinding, dogs, and picking up new skills just because they interest me. I have a habit of getting really interested in a topic and wanting to learn everything about it.
Ultimately, that's what I love about design, too. There's always something new to figure out, and I never get tired of learning.
Let's connect
I'm currently open to product design opportunities and select UX consulting projects.
If you'd like to talk about a project or an opportunity, I'd love to hear from you
