Hello,

I am a Design System expert

Who am I?

I am Alex, an award-winning UX designer living in Minnesota. I started my career in UX in 2018.

My career

I have been involved in all stages of product delivery. From leading seed-stage startups on how to grow their teams, all the way to helping enterprise companies scale their designs for future growth and engagement.

I've worked with companies such as Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, GM, Chevrolet, Kaiser Permanente, TATA, and I am currently working for public services.

What's next?

You'll find me anywhere I can fuss over micro-interactions and delight customers.

I am Alex Heustess. This is my story — alongside some images from my recent trip to New Zealand.

Background in product design

In received my B.S. in Product Design, however, I had always wanted more ways to integrate my digital skillset into my workflow.

I began taking classes in User Experience Design, which is where I met McLean Donnelly, a mentor who helped me graduate with a minor in UX and discover what I love to do.

My free time

I go for runs outdoors, tell stories publicly and design websites when I am off the clock!
