About
A designer with an engineering/research edge and a product mindset.
Alfonso combines UX/UI design, design research, and hands-on technical prototyping to make complex systems easier to understand, trust, and use.
Short bio
Alfonso Fernández Montero is based in Spain / open to remote and European roles. His background connects Spain, United States exchange experience, university education in the Netherlands, and a current/recent technical research direction at CCMIJU.
Design philosophy
Alfonso's work is strongest where products need to translate complexity into confidence: dashboards, AI-assisted workflows, technical data, ergonomics, and product decisions that need a clear interface.
What makes him different
- Turns dense technical information into interfaces that support fast decisions.
- Connects product thinking with research, ergonomics, sensors, and prototyping.
- Understands both the visible interface and the system logic behind it.
- Designs with AI as a workflow layer, not as a gimmick.
Working style
- Clarifies the decision a user needs to make before designing the screen.
- Structures complexity into progressive layers: overview, evidence, action.
- Works with constraints early so the product can be shipped, maintained, and trusted.
- Treats accessibility, empty states, and edge cases as part of the design quality bar.
