Alex Orozco — Product Designer, San Francisco Bay Area
UX Design
I strive to better my empathy and curiosity to improve the user’s experience. Working on UX design projects has improved my own visual thinking immensely.
Graphic Design
I’m an eager observer who enjoys beautiful and useful objects that assist clear communication; I relish getting close to a project and working long hours towards a solution.
Photography
I shoot with a Canon 6D full-frame camera and use a 135 mm lens for portraits. Photography is a natural way to hone my visual instincts.
