Hello! My name is Alfonso, and I’m a Seattle-based Product & UX Designer with a passion for creating intuitive and engaging user experiences. After many years as a Mechanical Engineer, I found my true calling in design, where I can blend empathy, functionality, and sharp visual aesthetics. I love tackling the challenges that designers encounter!
Most recently, I worked in the Training and Coaching branch of a rapidly growing sales enablement platform, Highspot. There, I worked on new product features, updates, and fixes, contributed to an evolving design system, and served as the SME for Highspot’s custom-branding offering. I truly enjoyed the company’s collaborative atmosphere, working closely with designers, PMs, developers, and other stakeholders. Its dynamic environment fueled my growth as a designer.
My extracurricular activities and previous work experiences enhance my abilities as a designer and overall strengths as a professional. In my spare time, I run an electronic dance music events brand called Loosely Based. Through Loosely Based, I’ve been able to entertain my interests in graphic design, branding, music, and creating memorable experiences for people. My background in mechanical engineering has honed my ability to work seamlessly in cross-functional teams, communicate effectively, persuade stakeholders, make data-driven decisions, and adapt to change. Both of these roles have increased my ability to manage complex projects, lead teams, and think strategically.
By leveraging my diverse skills and experiences, I aim to bring a unique perspective to every project. I’m always open to new connections and love discussing all things design. Thanks for stopping by; feel free to reach out!
