Hi there, and welcome to my portfolio!
I'm Alexander Albao, a creative problem solver driven by curiosity and empathy. While building my foundation in Interaction Design at Santa Monica College, my work spans Design Thinking, Project Management, Graphic Design, and Brand Identity. This diverse perspective allows me to create experiences that are both functional and emotionally resonant.
I leverage my experience as an Emergency Department Care Partner at Children's Hospital Los Angeles in my design process, as it has taught me the critical importance of clear, compassionate communication under pressure. Being part of a team during life-saving interventions—where every decision matters and seamless coordination can mean the difference between success and failure—has shown me that great design operates on the same principles: planning, empathy, and creating solutions that make a difference.
As someone with a knack for problem-solving, I'm eager to take on new challenges and discover innovative solutions. Whether it's coordinating meetings, deep diving into research, or mapping out user journeys, I bring the same level of enthusiasm and attention to detail I’ve experienced in critical healthcare environments into my design work flow.
Thanks for stopping by, and I'd love to share my work with you!
