About Alexandros
Product Designer
Hi, I’m Alexandros Shomper.
I make customer-centric and data-driven decisions — fast.
I combine research rigor with product strategy to deliver designs that not only delight users but also move business metrics.
Design is how your business works.
Here’s a TL;DR of my career:
Education in Arts & Marketing, and self-taught developer
Successful career in advertising and marketing, creating global marketing campaigns and brand experiences
Extensive experience growing products and teams in all stages of enterprises from Product-Market-Fit, to Product Led Growth to Core Product Work
There’s a bunch more detail below, but you can also view a summary on LinkedIn and take a look at my Manager README on Github. If you like side projects, check out my Cooking Social Network.
Key strengths
I have worked in hybrid roles of product design, product management, and product growth
Product Design
Product Design
I turn complex workflows into products people actually use. My focus is always time-to-value — getting users to their first meaningful moment as fast as possible, then designing the experience that keeps them.
Product Thinking
Product Thinking
I bring PM instincts to design. I understand what to build and why before I decide how it should look. That means I can drive scope decisions, challenge briefs, and connect design choices directly to business outcomes.
Product Growth
Product Growth
I design for activation and retention, not just for launch. I work with data, run experiments, and build the growth loops that turn new users into long-term ones. PLG is not a strategy I apply after the fact — it shapes the product from the first screen.
Human Centered Leadership
I believe happy and healthy teams are the most productive, and innovative teams.
Autonomy
The best work comes from people who own their decisions. I set direction clearly, then get out of the way. Micromanagement kills the creative risk-taking that produces anything worth shipping.
Mastery
I invest in the people I work with. That means design critiques with real feedback, pairing on hard problems, and creating the space to try things that might not work. Growth doesn't happen in comfort zones.
Purpose
Teams do their best work when they understand why it matters — not just to the business, but to the people using what they're building. I make that connection explicit, and I revisit it when it gets lost.
My Principles
I work with the outcome in mind first, then work backwards to the interface.
Aesthetics
Beautiful products are more useful. Craft is not decoration — it's how you signal to users that the product deserves their trust.
Data Driven/Informed
Data tells you what is happening. Research tells you why. You need both before you design anything. I never treat a metric as a conclusion — only as the beginning of a question.
Quality
Outcome beats output. No one remembers a late launch. Everyone remembers a bad product.
