Profile: https://flows.cv/alexjacque

I'm a Product Designer leader, developer, and photographer based in the San Francisco Bay area. As a design leader, I take pride in building and supporting great design teams. As a designer I love creating beautiful and functional products, but I also love getting under the hood and making things work in code.

Nothing makes me happier than solving problems.
