# Eugene Siew > Life Design Partner for high-achievers who’ve outperformed their own map and need someone to help design what comes next. Location: Los Altos, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/eugenesiew You've built something real. Not just a career — a track record. The promotions landed. The company scaled. The room where decisions get made is, more often than not, the room you're in. And privately — in the gap between what's on your calendar and what you actually think about at 11pm — you know something fundamental needs to be redesigned. Not urgently. Not yet. But the coherence gap keeps widening. The success is real. The question of whether it's yours is getting harder to ignore. Here's what doesn't get named enough: you are analytically capable. You've already mapped the options. You know what the data says. And you know — at some level — that this isn't an analytical problem. It's a design problem. Design problems need a thinking partner. That's what I do. I'm Eugene — founder of Alongside (@alngsd), a premium life design practice. I work alongside high-achieving professionals and entrepreneurs who've outperformed their own map and need someone to help them design what comes next. My background is in Product and UX Design; 15 years across Apple, Wealthfront, Meta, and OKX. Two patents at Apple. A 429% growth arc on a business messaging product at Meta in five months. I know what it looks like to build something that works, and I know — from living it twice — what it costs when the map you're following stops being yours. I'm a Designing Your Life (DYL) certified facilitator, an angel investor, and an advisor. And I have five children. The indispensability trap is not a concept to me. Alongside is not a coaching business in the conventional sense. There is no curriculum, no modules, no prescribed method handed to you. There is one thinking partner — me — fully focused on your situation, with no agenda except yours. ## Work Experience ### Founder + Life Design Partner @ Alongside Jan 2024 – Present | United States ### Angel Squad Member @ Hustle Fund Jan 2023 – Present ### Designer | Audio/Video Engineer | Photographer @ Fusion Productions Jan 2008 – Present Provided live audio/video recording for over 100 recitals.
