I’m Samuel Alex, a design engineer. I take products from the first sketch to the last line of code — interfaces, design systems and the craft in between.

FamilyMake (opens in a new tab)
Design Engineer · 2025 – Present
On-demand manufacturing for Africa: upload a CAD file, get an instant quote, get the part delivered. As one of the first three team members I led product strategy, UX and the first design system from concept to launch — 1,000+ users in the first 30 days, half of them buying.
24/7 Artists (opens in a new tab)
Design Engineer · 2025 – Present
A step-by-step career plan for independent musicians. I led the redesign of the core product, folding a set of standalone tools into one dashboard, and built the design system underneath it.
Floward (opens in a new tab)
Design Systems Consultant · Oct 2025 – Dec 2025
Same-day flowers and gifts across the Gulf. I built the design system for its iOS app on Apple's Liquid Glass language — components, interactions and tokens, handed off to Apple's HIG.
Blindspot (opens in a new tab)
Product Designer · Oct 2025 – Dec 2025
Digital billboards booked by the hour, with no sales calls. I redesigned the landing experience and built the interactive prototypes used for validation and usability testing.
Workverse (opens in a new tab)
Product Designer · Feb 2025 – Jun 2025
A workspace where teams work side by side with AI. I designed its collaborative workspace and productivity workflows, from UX research through to a scalable, engineering-ready UI.
Rayna UI (opens in a new tab)
Design System Lead · Nov 2023 – Aug 2025
A Figma design system with 6,700+ components, used by 12,000+ designers and developers. As design system lead I built its libraries, tokens and documentation — it became the foundation of Rayden UI's React library.

Side roads & scrap paper
Things built for no client and no deadline — some finished, some just proof an idea worked.
Interactions
Small things built to be touched. This one is my ID card on a lanyard — real rope physics, so grab it and throw it around.

Designing & Engineering Digital experience
Hi, I’m Samuel Alex. I design, build, and ship digital products that feel effortless to use. I care about clean interfaces, scalable systems, and the tiny details that turn great user experiences into meaningful business outcomes.
I currently work with FamilyMake and 24/7 Artists, partnering with founders to design scalable digital experiences, design systems, and AI-powered products.
Previously, I've contributed to products at Rayna UI, Floward, Blindspot, Workverse, and Outpost Healthcare. Alongside my client work, I build independent products like Morph, Pocketit, VoxFlow and more, where I explore design engineering, WebGL, AI, and emerging creative technologies.
