Hey, I’m Allen!

I’m a UX/UI designer and total design-tech nerd who was born with a mouse and keyboard in front of him.

I love digging into research, speaking with product and stakeholders about business problems, building engaging prototypes to share my vision and get alignment… and spending endless hours hanging in Figma.

Currently, I’m the Lead Product Designer at The Aspen Group, overseeing UX/UI for the WellNow brand.

The work stuff:

  • UX Design: User research, competitor analysis, wire-framing, prototyping, usability testing, iterative design, and maintaining scalable design systems.

  • UI Design: Web and visual design, branding, typography, color theory, layouts, and component libraries.

  • Other Areas: Software and web design, marketing, PowerPoint design, and photography.

The personal stuff:

  • I love cooking, comedy, and people with charisma (think Obama)

  • If I wasn’t a designer I’d love to do something in the culinary world, or maybe
    stand-up/writing comedy

  • I speak Russian (but born in Chicago)

  • I am a huge football fan, especially the English Premier League

  • Favorite Shows: Better Call Saul, Succession, Entourage, Homeland

  • Favorite Foods: Shawarma, tabouleh, sushi, cheese pizza, Reeses, Ferrero Rocher

  • Favorite Films: Sicario, The Martian, Oceans 11, Icarus

  • I love Photography and have over 20 million views on Pexels

  • I love to run (almost) everyday
