Hi! I'm Alexa Kaminsky
I'm an Amsterdam-based design leader specializing in the product discovery and definition phase of the product development lifecycle. I combine strategic visioning with active participation, allowing me to effectively lead my teams while contributing directly to the design process as needed.
I have experience working with product, engineer, and business partners while building internal tools, B2B services, and B2C products in startups, scaleups, and large tech companies.
I'm a socially and emotionally intelligent leader who can build relationships, bring people together, and make things better while adapting to change with a positive, creative, and curious attitude.
If you're looking for some career guidance or mentorship, don't hesitate to reach out!
