Hello,
I’m Alan. I am a user experience product design leader located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In the past 8 years, my superpower was partnering with VPs and executives to transform a low-performing, dysfunctional, and chaotic product design team into a thriving, globally scaled organization.

I’m all about collaboration, creativity, and making a real impact, and I love mentoring while staying hands-on with design to keep things fresh and connected to our customers.


I’ve worked with design, product, research, content, and engineering teams to make sure every project has a clear vision and delivers actual value.

In product management, I team up with PMs to analyze competitor trends and customer needs—with NO guesswork.


I collaborate closely with engineering to make sure our designs are not only innovative but also technically possible. My goal? Designs that are visually stunning and strategically aligned with company objectives to drive serious impact.


I’m excited to join a team where I can contribute, grow, and help create something extraordinary.
