About me
Hello Sir/ Madam,
I'm Alex a Product Designer with a passion for digital innovation, looking for an interview in a bid to prove myself to be an asset to your company.
I've been able to design products for companies ranging from start-ups that require everything to be done remotely, to big companies like BT that require co-location for collaboration. I'm very passionate about UX design in Agile, and I worked on improving the process at BT and given several talks on. It's something I believe needs to be properly defined as UX needs to be democratised, every role that works in an agile environment needs to have some understanding of UX to make it work well.
I'm from a consumer psychology background with a degree in Economics, a pg dip in Business Administration, an MSc in Marketing and an MSc in Innovation & Entrepreneurship. My Product design journey, started in New York. Studying right at the WeWork building on Wall Street, I met with innovators working on technologies of the future and interned with Fresh Prints, as a UX Researcher & Designer. Here I learnt UX research by interviewing a lot of users before designs started and understood conversion problems from another angle. I understood how design can push the traction needle and connected UX Design to the marketing I had studied.
When I got back from New York, I worked as a UX Designer on different projects which can be seen on delzerinle. I believe design is as important to the business as it is to the user, and the role of design at the end of the day is to earn money for the business that hires designers which is why I start with the business model of most products I build so that the journey we want for the user is designed to make money for the brand while guaranteeing a great experience to the user. The design is not the end itself, but only the means to an end which is a profitable product.
I've been able to work from quantitative research, to concept ideation, to prototyping, to usability testing, to agile software development, to A/B tests to understand performance, to going live or repeating the process for starts ups starting from scratch to super large companies. I've also been able to facilitate design workshops, and recently completed a course in Design Sprint 3.0, with the Design Sprint Academy.
I believe my unique skill set would mean I am able look at any user journey and improve it with a good knowledge of best practices, adequate research and a great eye for good design. I look forward to an interview soon, and believe I can become an important asset in your team.
Kind Regards,
Alex Erinle.
