I had the pleasure of working with Alex while interning at Collective Health. Over the course of my internship, he became a trusted mentor. Without my prompting, he helped me improve my presentations, refine my ideas, and so much more. He was always there to listen, and never failed to give good advice.
Alex is a team player who is willing to tackle difficult problems. He comes with my highest recommendation.

Alex and I worked closely together on an AI, Service Robotics product. As the lead UX/UI Designer, Alex drove the UX research and strategy that synthesized interactions ranging from traditional screens to technologies such as NLP and computer vision. It was a pleasure to work with someone with the level of empathy, passion, and initiative that Alex had. Furthermore, his optimism and openness to feedback encouraged a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.

Alex and I worked on building complex and intricate robotic systems together and he is not only an incredibly talented, hands-on designer, but he is also a business-minded and technical leader. He led the conversation and facilitated development in many facets of the products and he was a great motivator in driving the team to follow his carefully thought out processes.
On a personal note, he is very humble, professional, patient and easy to get along with. I would love to work together again in the near future!

Alex is a deeply curious human who is passionate about what people want out of technology and how to put it into their hands in the most usable manner.
I was able to connect him with several different roles since he has moved to the states and no matter the team, challenge or product he rises to it with joy, interest and care for his work. Talking to him you will always learn something new, he is giving with his knowlege [sic] and most enjoyable to work with.

I worked with Alex on his job search and every interaction, every touch point, was positive. Alex was always prepared for interviews and consistently went above and beyond to impress the hiring managers. He made my job of securing offers for him easy! Even when we hit a bump in the road, Alex was very understanding, flexible, patient and gracious. I couldn't recommend him more highly to anyone wanting to work with a top notch product designer whose manners put him in a class of his own.

Alex's input is always insightful and he often provides a point-of-view that may be surprising because no one else thought of it, from his unique perspective. He is personable, extremely intelligent and a pleasure to work with — an asset to any team that values such things.

Alex worked for me as a direct report early in his digital career. I was impressed by his energy, curiosity and determination [to] learn. This has been clearly demonstrated in his continued success in his chosen career. I'm delighted to have been part of his formative career path, and hope to work with him again at some point.
Adam Downes
Creative leader
Never has someone had such a big impact in such a small space of time. His wealth of experience, knowledge and enthusiasm, combined with his personable, thoughtful and insightful approach helped Pancentric understand how UX, CX and SDT can help redefine our business moving forward.
He is a leader and a mentor who inspires those around him to greater heights. He brings ideas to the table, challenges expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed co-creating with him.
I hope I get the chance to work with Alex again soon (should he ever find his way back over to these shores) and if you should be reading this to help inform any decision over working with him, I would say stop reading this, call him and get him in. You wont [sic] regret it.

Product Experience Strategist | TSIA STAR Awards Winner
Alex is a thinker, and a very good one at that. He is able to research topics deeply, gain valuable insights into customer problems and deeply understand user motivations. His skills in cognitive and behavioral psychology are unmatched in the whole of my professional experience; he is a dyed-in-the-wool usability researcher, and a tremendous boon to any user experience team that values innovation and out-of-the-box thought. He knows how to look beyond the surface of a problem, discover underlying issues, and conduct research to gather data used to devise solutions to that problem. He conducted an extensive, ambitious usability research project which provided very important discoveries for a large multi-phase project that couldn't have been unearthed any other way.
