Alena is a digital designer of 8+ years, passionate about making an accessible digital world.
Nice to meet you, I'm Alena.
I have been designing web experiences for over a decade and professionally for 8+ years. Learning from teams and delivering satisfying results that exceed our expectations keep me excited about the field.
While I love my part in making the digital world a little easier to use, I strive to spend the rest of my time experiencing the natural world. I usually spend quality time with my dog (Aero), family, and friends in NJ, USA. Feel free to reach out about anything you see.
What can we deliver together?
Wherever your project stands, I have experience putting together the pieces for the next stage of growth. Whether it is MVP design focused on user touch points, or getting feedback to grow the effectiveness of your product, I am excited to bring my skills to the table.
I have brought educational tools to life, expanded the revenue potential for enterprise work, and created small business platforms that embody their character and deliver joyful efficiency to their users. Let's see where we can grow product experiences together.
