Good design relies on, and is shaped by experience. Alfonso has experience in spades; which comes in quite handy. He is equally adept designing a product, as he is with his team at a whiteboard or leading a client meeting. During my time working with Alfonso he was not only a great teammate and collaborator, but also part sage. Alfonso positively influenced our work and client relationships, but also my way of thinking. You can't ask for anything more than that.

Josh Thompson Experience Strategy, Slalom Consulting

Alfonso is an amazingly talented and conscientious lead designer who has always brought a high degree of excellence and introspect towards his work. Alfonso's design leadership and attention to detail was a linchpin for the many successes we had with the Target corporate experience and its ability to elevate the brand overall.

Leo Padron Product Designer, Entrepeneur

I had the pleasure of working with Alfonso on Bluestem Brand’s e-commerce site re-design and platform migration. I was the program manager for the initiative and Alfonso was our director of design. Alfonso is an expert in his field and provided fantastic direction to a team of designers, both in house and contracted. With Alfonso’s expertise and guidance, the design team delivered a style guide and a complete set of content for the new e-commerce site on time and within budget.

Alfonso is one of the best designers I’ve ever met. He’s got a knack for creating something that looks great, and meets the business objectives.

Jason Grey CTO

Alfonso joined my team as a freelancer to help us in time crunch. His even, calm demeanor was perfect for the time crunched project and the creative work was top notch. He’s got a very fresh design sensibility, very international in flavor; and he’s a skilled animator. I’d gladly hire him again if I had the opportunity.

Lance Thornswood VP, Omnichannel & UX at US Bank

I worked with Alfonso on a large elearning project. Alfonso brought a positive passion to the project and was a pleasure to work with. He clearly understands how to leverage the unique capabilities of Interactive. Further, his elegant designs took the project to new levels. I highly recommend Alfonso.

David Latour Backend Developer

Alfonso is the real deal: a UX designer who actually listens to users and crafts experiences that cater to their needs, an Agile collaborator who moves fast and enhances the work of everyone on his team, and a hilarious motherf***er who’s a joy to work with. I’ve personally partnered with him on projects ranging from micro-interactions to enterprise-scale content management systems, and I can tell you: if you want a creator who can think big without missing the details, you’re going to want Alfonso on your team.

Nathan McIntyre UX Architect, Best Buy

I worked with Alfonso on an ecommerce team for a little over a year. From the moment he joined the team, Alfonso was ready to take on any challenge that came his way. He is a true leader in a business and user experience sense. Alfonso doesn't let tools define him, but he instead uses tools in innovative ways to solve problems for users. He mentored me for over a year and truly shaped the designer I am today. I would work with him again in a heartbeat. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to think in new ways, and create effective experiences for all users.

Barb Krueger Ux & Visual Designer

Alfonso is one of the most talented user experience professionals that I've had the opportunity to work with. He truly understands UX is not just about shiny designs, but more about taking the time to have customer empathy, solve their pain points and deliver compelling experiences. Alfonso was also instrumental in helping push the team toward a true agile framework by supporting the team through user validation research, guerrilla testing and driving lean UX practices. He is a product managers best friend.
