Bio
Steve Scott
Working with Alex on several projects for both customer and back office user experiences has been a real pleasure. We first worked together on a complex cash management project for a major European bank, the resulting UX revolutionized the construction and management of highly structured cash pools, reducing human data input through graphical hierarchical visualizations that drove services that automated construction of cash pools in the core system. Alex's designs have for this project impressed both clients and experienced IT professionals and have been emulated in other applications since. Alex has the ability to quickly build a rapport with clients, demonstrating empathy with their requirements and translating them into designs. In our most recent work together Alex was a key player in workshops, taking designs into a POC, validating with the bank's customers ultimately leading to the final designs for another ground breaking product. As the Product Manager having Alex working with me gave me confidence that the customer would be happy! Whenever designs needed to be discussed with our customer stakeholders if Alex wasn't on the call I was frequently asked "what does Alex think"; if Alex was happy the customer was happy! In addition to his professionalism, design skills and his interpersonal skills Alex went about his work with good humour. Alex would lighten the mood when appropriate and somehow when blocked in discussion, with a few words and a smile he'd move things along or as we came to know it - ELMO! I've learnt a great deal about UX design with Alex and feel fortunate to have had his help in bringing unique and complex products to live!

Over the last 4 years I've been lucky to work with Alex on projects from covering consumer banking and payments to using Design Thinking to assess how we should redesign business or corporate banking. Throughout these projects Alex brought a calm, steady presence; being the voice of reason guiding and coaxing out the true reasons behind actions; ensuring we were designing for the real challenges that needed to be addressed. Beyond this talent in designing for the end user, Alex has a real talent for understanding the business implications behind a project, balancing both end user and commercial interests, designing services and experiences that are not simply desirable but have real world applications. I wouldn't hessitate to recommend Alex for any UX/UI position as he'll be a fantastic addition to lead any team or project!
