At Kape Technologies I had the pleasure of working with Alex across a range of products and projects. During our time together we collaborated to test new app updates, design new features and also get a better understanding of our customers across brands. I'm pleased to say that the work we did together was received strongly by the customer base (Reflected in the post-launch usability tests my team ran). On a managerial level Alex is a comprehensive, caring team lead. Always advocating for his team and able to pull on their individual skills for different projects. It was always a pleasure working with Alex and his designers because I knew the project was going to go well and customers would be happy as a result. I'd like to single out his attention to detail with designs, always able to factor in user feedback and turn it into a working design. If you're looking for somebody to lead your designs I'd wholeheartedly recommend Alex. He's a strong designer, caring leader and a great addition to any team!

I had the pleasure of working with Alex during his time as Senior Design Manager, and his impact was both immediate and lasting. He brought structure and clarity by streamlining design processes, significantly improving team efficiency and collaboration. At the same time, he remained hands-on - willingly taking on ad hoc design tasks with dedication and enthusiasm, always demonstrating a strong commitment to quality. Alex was also a natural mentor, consistently offering thoughtful guidance to junior design managers and designers. He was approachable, generous with his time, and genuinely invested in the growth of those around him. His stakeholder management skills were equally impressive—navigating complex dynamics with professionalism while advocating for his team and ensuring their contributions were recognized and respected. Alex is a principled, strategic, and empathetic leader. Any team would be fortunate to have him.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex during his time at Kape. Alex led the design team with dedication and professionalism, ensuring it fully supported the needs of the partnerships department. Under his leadership, the design team consistently delivered high-quality work - from creative landing pages and banners to B-rolls, guidelines, and documentation - all while maintaining a strong focus on timelines and quality, even under heavy demand. His support in producing dedicated influencer pages was especially appreciated, always delivered on time and with great attention to detail. One of the things I valued most was Alex’s proactive communication. He was always transparent about potential delays due to workload, which helped us align expectations and maintain smooth collaboration between teams. Alex also demonstrated a strong commitment to improving workflows through process optimization and automation. His constant pursuit of efficiency not only enhanced his team’s performance but also inspired a culture of continuous improvement and learning. That kind of mindset is rare - and incredibly valuable. Alex would be an asset to any team, and I’m confident he’ll continue to bring creativity, structure, and leadership wherever he goes.

As a senior PM managing the finance site group, I knew I could count on Alex both as a designer and as a professional lead to deliver precise web design and branding. Alex also trained our less experinced team members and mentores them to provide amazing results.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex during his time as Senior Design Manager, and his impact was both immediate and lasting. He brought structure and clarity by streamlining design processes, significantly improving team efficiency and collaboration. At the same time, he remained hands-on - willingly taking on ad hoc design tasks with dedication and enthusiasm, always demonstrating a strong commitment to quality. Alex was also a natural mentor, consistently offering thoughtful guidance to junior design managers and designers. He was approachable, generous with his time, and genuinely invested in the growth of those around him. His stakeholder management skills were equally impressive—navigating complex dynamics with professionalism while advocating for his team and ensuring their contributions were recognized and respected. Alex is a principled, strategic, and empathetic leader. Any team would be fortunate to have him.
