Alexandra Chen
Senior UX/UI Designer
I'm a UX/UI designer based in San Francisco with 8+ years of experience designing digital products for fintech, healthcare, and SaaS companies. I believe the best design is invisible — it removes friction without announcing itself.
Previously at Stripe, Figma, and a handful of early-stage startups. I've led design for products used by millions, and I've also been the only designer in a room of engineers. Both experiences taught me something different about craft.
How I work.
Discover
I start with deep user research — interviews, diary studies, competitive analysis — to understand what people actually need, not what they say they want.
Define
Synthesizing research into clear problem statements, user flows, and information architecture. Alignment with stakeholders happens here, not after.
Design
From low-fidelity sketches to polished, interactive prototypes in Figma. I iterate fast and test early — every pixel earns its place.
Deliver
Detailed handoff specs, design tokens, and close collaboration with engineers through implementation. The design doesn't end at the file.
