Experiments and writing that explore new directions in systems, tools, and product
design.
After several years in fast-paced agencies space, I’m now shifting toward product
teams
where I can help shape tools — not just deliver assets. I bring experience in shipping visuals and
systems at speed, and I’m focused on growing as a designer who values clarity, interaction, and
long-term product thinking.
About
Alex Kauffman is a designer focused on clarity, interaction, and
systems-thinking. With a BFA in New Media Design from RIT, he blends creative direction
and product thinking to design tools that support thoughtful, long-term growth.
He’s currently exploring roles in product design and visual systems —
aiming to contribute to meaningful products, not just fast-moving ideas. His dream role
is helping Microsoft’s Accessibility team improve the Xbox gaming experience for diverse
players — or working with platforms like Toast to make everyday payments more accessible
for all.
Outside of design, Alex is getting into motocross (MX) as a new hobby. He also enjoys
traveling to different countries, meeting new people, and trying unfamiliar things —
always chasing experiences that expand perspective.
