Hey! I'm Alex

I make things work.Then I write about why they almost didn't.

Product strategy & design, agentic systems, conversational AI, UX and the messy middle between design and shipping.

PM, Designer, and occasional loud opinion on AI

Alexandra Vasquez Valois

I've been a designer, a founding team member, a PM, and now I spend most of my time thinking (and shipping) about how AI actually fits into products people use every day.

Nobody has this fully figured out. I'm not pretending otherwise. What I do is stay close to the work, write about what I'm learning, and help teams make better decisions in the middle of the uncertainty. Based on the US-Mexico border.

Writing on agentic UX and AI product design. Open to giving workshops, talks, and having good conversations.

Writing

Thinking out loud about AI, products, and the work.

A series on agentic UX and what it actually takes to design systems that include AI. No hype, just the stuff worth knowing.

Mobile / Ops tooling

Field agents across LATAM needed a mobile tool that worked with their reality, not against it. I designed for connectivity constraints, regional differences, and the pressure of collecting data that actually has to be right.

Conversational AI / Automation

Manual business data verification doesn't scale across countries. I designed a voice system that replaced inconsistent human calls with auditable, repeatable interactions.

Workshops & talks

Let's work through this together

I run workshops and give talks on product design, strategy, and the realities of building with AI. For universities, academic programs, and educators who want someone bringing current practice into the classroom.

The topics vary. The approach doesn't: less theory, more stuff you can actually use.

If you're building a curriculum, planning an event, or just want a practitioner in the room, let's talk.
