            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.

                        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.
