About

Hi, I'm Alexis Koss, nice to meet you. I am a UX designer.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Informatics from the University of Washington, where I focused on human-computer interaction (HCI) across multiple disciplines. I am specialized in UX design, UI design, and software development.

Through my work, I empower people through customer-centric designs to create experiences that leave a lasting impact on the user. With every product that I design and develop, I emphasize with the user at every step to ensure all design decisions are assisted by research and usability testing, not assumptions.

To consider empathy during all parts of the design process allows me to satisfy a user’s expectations as well as give them a product that provides utility and purpose. With my ability to digitally develop these designs, I can give people the opportunity to see and learn things in a new light by engaging them through the designs of my end-to-end user experiences.

Interested in working together? Reach me at alexis30@uw.edu.
