I’m Gaby Alegre 👋
I am a UX/UI Designer based in NYC with experience designing mobile and web app interfaces, building design systems, and contributing to beta launches for early-stage startups.
As a first-generation eldest daughter, I’ve always been the go-to problem solver for my family — especially when it came to navigating confusing technology. Lucky for them, I loved the challenge and was always determined to find solutions.
Discovering UX design was a turning point in my life—it brought together my problem-solving mindset, determination, and desire to help people through technology. My passion for UX is also rooted in a deep curiosity about human behavior — something I cultivated while earning my degree in psychology at Stony Brook University.
For me, UX is the perfect intersection of psychology, creative problem-solving, and innovation. I'm driven by the opportunity to design thoughtful, intuitive experiences that bridge the gap between people and technology.
I'm equally passionate about design systems. I love bringing order to chaos—making complex systems simple, usable, and scalable for teams. It’s a powerful way to streamline the creation process and elevate consistency across products.
Outside of work, I like to get away from the busy city and go breathe in crisp fresh air at the top of a mountain, ideally after some rock scrambling. Other than that, you can usually find me holding some kind of animal, whether it be my cat or a horseshoe crab on the beach :)
Fun fact: My last name means “happy” 😌
Let’s work together!
