Hello!
I'm Alan Chow
Product-focused UX designer with a background in graphic design and over a decade in front-end development.
I design and ship clear, structured experiences by balancing user needs, technical constraints, and practical scope.
UI/UX
General Assembly
Downland Succession Planning
Scoped and designed a two-week MVP focused on validating demand for farm succession.
Led the design of a structured intake experience to support future farmer matching while deferring higher-risk features like AI and legal tooling.
General Assembly
YMCA Life Skills App
Access to practical life skills is often scattered across disconnected resources, making it difficult for young adults to build confidence.
I contributed to a scoped app experience that consolidates and structures essential skills, prioritizing clarity and guided learning over feature breadth.
General Assembly
The Sword & Board Toronto Redesign
E-commerce experiences for niche communities often rely on generic templates that limit both brand expression and usability.
I explored a redesign that balances thematic identity with clear product discovery, focusing on navigation, hierarchy, and browsing patterns within a retail context.
General Assembly
TOQUE Cooking App
Cooking apps for beginners often fail to balance instruction clarity with ease of use.
I scoped a simplified recipe experience focused on guiding users through key steps without overwhelming them, prioritizing clarity over feature depth.
