Kind words

Working with Alexandra was a fantastic experience. She brought incredible creativity, flexibility, and thoughtfulness to our UI/UX design project. For every round of feedback, she returned with multiple strong options, always grounded in best practices from industry leaders like Duolingo and Netflix. She was quick to incorporate feedback, even when it was vague or hard to articulate, and she managed to turn it into clear design solutions. Alexandra was detail-oriented, collaborative, and consistently went above and beyond the scope. I’d highly recommend working with her.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alexandra on two distinct projects, and she exceeded expectations in both. For Reading Rocket, Alexandra’s meticulous UI/UX research and high-quality Figma designs—aligned with the AWS Amplify design framework—were consistently on point. She provided multiple well-thought-out solutions for each feature, revealing her exceptional creativity and dedication to user-centric design. Her commitment to understanding teacher and student needs drove a product that truly resonated with its audience. Meanwhile, at Kid Smart AI, Alexandra leaned seamlessly into product strategy, designing the website and marketing materials with polished visuals and impactful messaging. She also took the lead in crafting engaging presentations for investors and customers—showcasing her versatility in both design and storytelling. Alexandra’s attention to detail, eagerness to explore multiple design directions, and skill in translating ideas into clear strategic communications make her an invaluable asset to any team.

Alexandra Gwynn has been a dream to collaborate with! What began as a tiny idea to keep our @NYEdTech members based outside of New York City connected to each other post-pandemic has grown into a true stand-alone community of its own in just a few months, thanks in no small part to Alexandra and her expert community-building and organizational skills. Moreover, Alexandra brings an intentional and highly attuned sense of the User Experience and a user-centered approach to everything she works on, from her professional career at an edtech startup to our NYEdTech Slack group, virtual meetups, and special events like the NYEdTech Hackathon. I appreciate the dedication and energy she brings to every aspect of her work that I have been involved with so far, and hope to support all her future endeavors as well.

“In the real world, the problems do not come in nice, neat packages. They have to be discovered. It is all too easy to see only the surface problems and never dig deeper to address the real issues.”
