About

Hi, I’m Alan, a seasoned designer with over a decade of experience working in diverse design roles, both employed and freelance. I’ve spent six years as a Design Lead at a software company, led the design team as Head of Design at a marketing agency, and currently work independently as a freelance designer, collaborating closely with startups and small businesses. I specialize in website design and development using Framer, interactive prototypes in Figma, and delivering branding assets such as logos, marketing creatives, and brand guidelines.

With a strong user-centric approach, I bring expertise across UX research and planning, UI design, component libraries, design systems, and prototyping for mobile apps, web software, SaaS products, and CMS platforms. My creative skill set also includes brand development, marketing creatives, and building no-code websites. I am proficient in Figma, Framer, and the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, enabling me to deliver versatile and impactful design solutions tailored to client needs.
