Hi, I’m Ali!
I’m a designer, photographer, and creative thinker based in Southern California, working at the intersection of usability, accessibility, and creativity.
Hi, I’m Ali—a designer, photographer, and creative thinker based in Southern California. I design simple, inclusive tools that help people do what matters most.
I have over 10 years of experience in product design, UX, and accessibility. Right now, I’m a Senior Product Designer at GrandPad, where I lead design for seniors (80+) and their families across iOS, Android, and the web.
Beyond the product work, I build systems and frameworks that shape how our design team operates. I also mentor designers and care a lot about how teams grow, not just how products ship.
I design for clarity, care, and real human needs.
Beyond Design
Outside of work I'm usually making something — photography, linocut printing, 3D printing oversized props. My photos have shown at the county fair. I find that working with my hands makes me a sharper designer.
Work with Me!
Process & Practice
I share my creative experiments, design process, and behind-the-scenes thoughts on Process & Practice.
