Alan Ho

With over a decade of experience in product design, I specialize in crafting user-centered solutions that blend design, data analytics, and technology. My journey began as an engineer, shaping my belief that exceptional design is not merely an artistic endeavor but a scientific process—one that is measurable, repeatable, and scalable.

Today, as a Senior Principal Experience Designer at Autodesk, I create engaging and functional customer journeys by combining user research, interaction design, and front-end development. My approach is rooted in empathy for the user, balanced with a deep understanding of business goals to deliver solutions that achieve both delight and profitability.

My work spans a broad spectrum of specialties, from 2D/3D CAD and systems engineering to interactive prototyping, information architecture, and vision strategy curation. I am also proficient in emerging technologies like data science and artificial intelligence, leveraging them to augment user research and drive data-informed design decisions.

Beyond design, I am passionate about accessibility, ensuring experiences meet WCAG standards and are inclusive for all users. As a member of the W3C Cognitive Accessibility Community Group, I contribute to advancing best practices in this space.

Whether I’m optimizing workflows, designing scalable systems, or bridging the gap between business strategy and user needs, my goal remains the same: to create meaningful, impactful, and sustainable experiences.
