Hi again! I'm Alexander Pureza aka Alec.
MY STORY
I'm a UX/UI Designer based in beautiful Vienna - but I didn’t start out in design. My journey actually began in code. After getting my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, I started my career in iOS and mobile development. It was exciting at first, but after nearly two years, I started feeling a pull in a different direction.
I kept asking myself:
Do I love building products... or am I more excited about how they look, feel, and function?
Spoiler: it was the latter.
I started paying closer attention to the apps I used every day.
What makes this experience feel so good? Why does this design just… work?
That curiosity pulled me straight into the world of UX/UI design, where I finally get to mix creativity with tech in a way that just clicks for me.
Now? I'm all in - and more excited than ever about what’s ahead, because I know this is exactly where I’m meant to be.
MY CREATIVE JOURNEY
Creativity has always been a part of who I am. As a kid, I was constantly sketching, playing instruments, or experimenting with fashion - anything that allowed me to express myself. Over time, I developed a love for photography and video editing, and that made me realize something:
Because creativity has always been such a huge part of my life. Why not bring this creative energy into my career?

MY GOAL
Design is everywhere, shaping how we interact with the world. That thought fuels my creativity every day, driving me to craft user-centered experiences that don’t just work but delight. I’m passionate about creating impactful solutions and love collaborating with diverse teams to bring ideas to life. For me, connecting with both users and fellow creators is key to building meaningful experiences that truly resonate.
