Alex Chen

Product Designer

Design guided by material physics.

Alex thinks of interfaces as sheets of paper stacked with intention — each surface carrying meaning, depth, and purpose. Good design isn't decoration; it's physics applied to pixels.

With 8+ years mastering the physics of digital surfaces, Alex has shaped products used by millions, always anchoring decisions in Material principles: elevation, motion, and typographic rhythm.

Every interaction should feel natural and responsive — like picking up a card, not clicking a button. The haptic feedback of the real world, translated into light and shadow.

Based in a collaborative workspace in San Francisco, Alex designs systems that scale — from a single component to a global design language serving 200+ engineers and dozens of product teams.
