Hi, I'm Alena!

I’m Alena, a product designer with a background in engineering, education, and finance.  I specialize in work that lives at the intersection of human intuition and intelligent systems, making complex experiences feel simple, trustworthy and alive.


My work spans fintech, education, AI, and start-ups. I believe the best designs aren’t just functional, but immersive. They guide, inspire, and make the difficult feel effortless.

Outside of Work

Outside of work, I’m also drawn to the energy of music, art, and culture.  I love drawing inspiration from underground music scenes, emerging fashion, and experiences that break boundaries.

I find joy in both the lively and the quiet - a themed dinner party with friends, a new city to get lost in, a book that changes me, or simply watching how light moves through a space.
