Growth & Platform Product Designer

Hi, I'm Alana

I solve high-impact, systemic product friction at scale. From restructuring multi-product onboarding life-cycles to crafting complex developer sandboxes, I bring deep strategic architecture together with pristine interface visual craft.

My Philosophy

Execution
Without Ego

I turn complexity into clarity, aligning diverse expertise around the right problems and strategic priorities.

By challenging assumptions and embedding experimentation into how teams make decisions, we drove +240% growth in Jira activation.

“Strategy isn’t about having all the answers. It’s knowing which questions matter, where to focus, and how to turn insight into impact.”

Core Framework

My Design Process

I approach product strategy using a simple cyclical framework, keeping decisions grounded in user validation whilst adaptable to business needs to execute with agility.

Outside of Work

When I am not mapping complex customer experience or thinking the next business strategy to propose, you will likely find me tinkering, brewing, or contributing my craft back in the community.
