Designing UI for product teams and agencies. I work in Figma and build in Framer and WordPress — so the thing I design is the thing that goes live, without a handoff gap.

Testimonials

Some kindness from clients and colleagues

A real collaborator, Alex helped me to lead the team and inspire. He assisted in the development of junior staff and was vital to their growth and success. He has a broad skill set covering UX and UI design, through to print. His editorial work is nothing short of beautiful. He is a truly skilled designer and all round creative that is passionate about what he does, at every stage of the creative process.

Lee Fairbrother

Founder, For Different (former CD at Accelerate Digital)

Great turn around time, and great to work with! Makes all of our visions come true. Couldn't thank you enough, Alex!

Sarah Dillard

Product Dev. Manager, Unation

I am totally flawed by Alex's work. I provided a really detailed brief - every single section I had ideas down. Alex came in and looked at the project from the top to the bottom - and produced me a design that not only met my wireframe, but exceeded it - because I could see he had really thought about my design requirements. I cannot be happier with what I received, I'm absolutely delighted. 100% recommended. FANTASTIC :)

Steve Stretton

Founder, Stretton Online

Alessandro worked in our agency as a senior designer, we worked closely on a few client projects, from web/ux projects, to all manner of digital design. He has a fantastic eye, works fast and to high quality, and has a friendly and calm manner. Highly recommended!

Louis Warner

G-Force | Founders Factory (former CEO at Accelerate Digital)

Alessandro is an incredibly talented digital designer. He always finished his projects with enthusiasm, efficiency, creativity and finesse. There is no doubt Alessandro will do well wherever his career takes him and his future employers will be extremely lucky to have him on-board.
