Designing the future of human–AI interaction

Hi, I'm Alex Shirazi — a UX designer focused on how humans connect with intelligent systems, robotics, and emerging interfaces. My work explores the boundary between hardware and human experience.

I am currently reimagining human–AI interaction through a new project.

I've most recently lead design at Balletic Foods, developing advanced protein technologies, and produce global events around novel protein innovation and food tech.

I also host the Future Food Show and co-authored the illustrated children's book "Where Do Hot Dogs Come From?"

What I do

I design experiences that make complex systems approachable — from AI-driven interfaces and robotic control UIs to digital storytelling and product ecosystems.

I've led UX and creative work at Phlint since 2005, collaborating with startups in home automation, health, blockchain, and retail analytics.

Portfolio Review

I offer 1-on-1 portfolio review sessions for designers exploring AI, robotics, or emerging tech. Let's refine your story and help your work shine.
