Hello!

I'm Alan Chow

A UX designer with a unique blend of visual storytelling, front-end expertise, and human-centered design.

With a background in graphic design and over a decade in development, I create digital experiences that are as intuitive as they are beautiful — and always built with users in mind.

The Sword & Board Toronto Redesign

E-commerce sites often roll a 1 on consitution – bland and very templated.

I redesigned The Sword & Board Toronto's website to reflect the imagination and fantasy filled world of Table-top Role Playing Games (TTRPG), while enhancing the user experience!
