I’m Allen!

A UX/UI designer and design tech nerd passionate about user research, prototyping, design systems, and accessibility (WCAG).

Currently, I’m the Lead Product Designer at The Aspen Group, overseeing UX/UI for the WellNow brand.

What I Do:

  • UX Design: user research, competitor analysis, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, iterative design, and maintaining scalable design systems.

  • UI Design: Web and visual design, branding, typography, color theory, layouts, and component libraries.

  • Other Areas: Software and web design, marketing, PowerPoint design, and photography.

The personal stuff:

  • I love cooking, comedy, and charming people.

  • If I wasn’t a designer I’d love to do something in the culinary world, or maybe
    stand-up/writing comedy

  • I speak Russian (first generation, or is it second? Ukrainian, born in Chicago)

  • I am a huge football fan, especially the English Premier League

  • Favorite Shows: Better Call Saul, Succession, Entourage, Homeland
