Why people use your product. Why they don't. And what to do about it.

With experience across Europe and the US, I combine insights into human behavior with UX and CRO to improve acquisition, activation, conversion, and retention – driving measurable growth.

Selected Experience
What I do

Four Focus Areas.

Over the years, I’ve learned that the best solutions rarely fit into a single box. 

People, products, technology, and business are interconnected. Understanding the bigger picture is at the heart of my approach.

These four focus areas reflect the disciplines I believe are essential to making that happen.

01 / UNDERSTAND YOUR CUSTOMERS

User Psychology & Behaviour

Why do people choose your product, hesitate, or leave? Discover the motivations, psychological triggers, and barriers behind their decisions – and what it takes to earn their trust.

Behavioral Psychology
Psychological Triggers
Funnel Analysis
UX Research
Customer Journey Mapping
02 / MAKE YOUR PRODUCT EASIER TO USE

UX & Product Design

Confusing navigation, complicated onboarding or unclear messaging can drive customers away. Simplify user journeys, remove friction, and create intuitive experiences.

UX Design
Information Architecture
User Flows
Wireframing & Prototyping
Usability Testing
03 / TURN MORE VISITORS INTO CUSTOMERS

Conversion Rate Optimization

Getting traffic is only half the battle. Find out what’s preventing visitors from signing up or buying, test targeted improvements, and increase conversions without relying solely on more traffic.

04 / KEEP CUSTOMERS COMING BACK

Lifecycle Growth

PROJECT FOR BOSE

UX Design for Bose Sleepbuds™ II

Rated 4.7/5 on the Apple Store based on 7,000+ user reviews.

The project combined user research, behavioral insights, UX strategy, and interface design to understand how people interact with the app and where they encounter friction.

From simplifying navigation and improving user flows to refining key interactions, design decisions were explored and evaluated through iterative testing.

SAAS · PRODUCT GROWTH · UX · CRO

UX & Conversion Optimization for a SaaS Platform

A conversion-driven UX redesign for a multimillion-dollar SaaS platform, increasing user conversion from 12.9% to 41.8%.

Despite strong demand, the US-based marketing automation platform struggled with user adoption due to fragmented workflows, complex navigation, and unclear onboarding.

I led a comprehensive UX redesign, simplifying information architecture, navigation, and core workflows to reduce friction, improve usability, and help users realize the product’s value.

Hi, I'm Alex

I’ve always wanted to understand what makes people tick – and why the world works the way it does.

That curiosity first led me pretty quickly into the world of journalism. Later, it took me across the Atlantic, when I moved to the US on my own. Eight years in America shaped not only my career, but also the way I think and approach life.

I might be a mix out of both world: European critical thinking, depth, and attention to detail, combined with American optimism, ambition, and a bias for action. But you need to find out and judge yourself..

Now with 10+ years of experience, I automatically bring these principles to digital products and, of course, my life in general. 

Outside of this world, I love filmmaking, producing podcasts, and exploring new places and cultures. Different pursuits, but ultimately driven by the same curiosity.

How would we work together?

Just you and me, figuring out what needs fixing and getting things done. I'm happy to work independently or alongside your team.

Can you guarantee that my conversion rate will double?

No. And I'd be suspicious of anyone who says they can.

What’s one thing you can’t stand at work?

Meetings about meetings or 80-slide presentations that could have been an email.

What's your idea of success?

Having the freedom to choose what I work on, who I work with, and where life takes me next. A fancy job title has never been much of a substitute.

Are you a good team player?

Absolutely. As long as we're heading somewhere interesting. I enjoy thinking independently and challenging assumptions, but I believe the best ideas come from people who bring different perspectives to the table.
