Thanks for visiting. This site is a bit more work focused than personal but I'm hoping to blur those lines more in the future and fill it up with some side projects soon.

Work,

For the recruiters out there, here's the work tagline;

"Alden is a senior designer working on money movement, financial reconciliation, and bringing artificial intelligence into financial operations tooling."

Currently, I'm full time at Modern Treasury designing their web app. It's been almost three years since I joined the team. It’s been a rollercoaster, and I’m optimistic about where it’s heading.

On the side,

I'm self-learning front end development through online courses, it's slow going but hoping it helps me connect designed experiences to end users. I'm also playing around with tools like v0 and claude in my design process. Also built this site from scratch in Framer so that's fun.

Photo work/fun is kicking back up with some projects and shot a wedding this last summer for some dear friends.

If you’re keen, you can pick up some copies of zines and prints I've self published in person at Mollusk Surf Shop, Restricted Goods, or online through Milieu Press. It's free to follow on Instagram as well.

Still skateboarding a good amount and getting back into surfing more again.

Have been able to take some amazing trips this year with people I love. 🇯🇵🇵🇭🇬🇷

The last books I read and really enjoyed was Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons, Annihilation, and Circe.

I've been fortunate to have had some great mentors and colleagues over the years. If you want to chat about work opportunities, photography, or something else, just reach out.
