Alex Rekas

Hi my name is Alex and I’m a designer residing in the VA/DC area. My primary focus is in ux (user experience) design, but occasionally take on other types of projects such as product design, branding, and mobile.

Growing up I was always interested in how things work, often taking apart electronics and toys to see their inner workings. I wondered why objects were designed and built the way they are, who designed this and why doesn’t it fit my hand? Industrial design was the perfect place to satisfy my curiosity, engineering, and design skills, I fell in love with peoples’ stories and how that affects design. Shaping a physical product experience and exploring the emotional bond people have with an object continued to drive my passion for great experiences and this later led me into user experience design, creating meaningful digital experiences.

Outside of design, I have a passion for soccer, being outdoors, traveling, food, and good coffee.
