New section: containing a picture and a short statement about myself

HI, I'M ALEX B.

Alex B. looking slightly smug

New section: containing three simplified, but typical, problems for potential customers

Are you having these issues?

Mismatch between business & users

  • Are your business needs & processes jarring with typical user needs?
  • Where do your visitors stumble?

Your visitor bounce rate is too high

  • Do your visitors abandon their shopping cart, or leave your site without interacting with any other pages?

Customer conversions simply too low

  • Can customers complete their tasks?
  • And can they find the content they're interested in?
New section: containing three simplified, but typical, things I do for potential customers

Here's how I can help.

Marry business needs and user needs

  • Talking to both sides identifies business processes and use cases, which defines and formalizes user journeys (and/or make recommendations for improvement to existing journeys) .

Define user needs & their pain points

  • Identify user needs, pain points, along with feedback throughout the project by implementing appropriate research methods (user tests, interviews, etc.).

Design & validate possible solutions

  • Championing a user-centric solution, I'll define the right interaction model, and evaluate its success via usabilty tests.
  • Communicating ideas, concepts & design solutions to various stakeholders, and align with UI Designers and Developers.

Agentic AI experiments

I'm fascinated by the possibility of using AI and LLMs (large language models) for creative purposes. This is a collection of various creative writing experiments using an agentic AI, written by myself. However, I'm a designer, I have limited coding ability This is the shrug emoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Most of the results are drafts, that could use some polish from an expert, or could probably be used as a stepping stone by someone who actually understands the field of e.g. screenplay writing, and could evolve them further.
I consider them to be a reflection of my own curiosity, nothing more.
