About Ale
Lead Designer | Proton Wallet & Proton Meet at Proton
I build products where privacy, trust, and digital resilience matter most.
Hi, I’m Alejandra, but you can call me Ale.
I’m a systems thinker who brings structure and direction to complex product problems. I identify patterns early, connect strategy with execution, and help teams turn ambiguity into clarity.
At Proton, I design privacy first experiences across communication, AI, and Bitcoin self custody. My work connects product strategy, UX, visual direction, and engineering collaboration.
Over the past years, I have led design work across Proton Wallet, Proton Meet, Proton Pass, and the next generation of Proton Mail mobile apps, contributing to products used by thousands, and in some cases millions, of people worldwide.
My current focus is digital resilience: helping people and organizations stay in control of their communication, identity, access, information and financial autonomy when the digital world becomes more hostile.
I also care deeply about ethical technology, culture and inclusion. I believe our origins, lived experiences and different perspectives are strengths that can help us build technology with more responsibility, empathy and long term impact.

What mentees say
“Thank you, Ale, for our discussion. It was very enriching! AI is evolving very quickly in our professions and in our products, and our discussion helped me realize something obvious. I had lost sight of my role as a product designer. It was like a reminder of the basics, and it reconciled me with the future. Let's hope it lasts!”
“Thank you Ale for your time, help, insights and advises! Your talk was truly inspirational to me”
“Ale is an amazing and compassionate design professional. She kindly shared with me her story of developing her career as an expat in Europe, which helped me better plan my next career move. I can't think of any negatives from this chat and would 100% recommend it to anyone else who is experiencing the same uncertainty and frustration when looking for a job overseas.”
