About Me

I'm Alex Schumacher, a Brooklyn-based product designer and associate product manager with a proven track record of delivering high-impact digital experiences.

I bring a cross-functional approach to design — combining UX, UI, and product strategy to create solutions that are both user-centric and business-ready. From early-stage research to launch and iteration, I’ve led design efforts across healthcare, fintech, and consumer platforms, consistently driving engagement, retention, and product growth.
