Alex Locke
Hi there! I'm Alex Locke and I am currently a UX Designer in the Chief Design Office at USAA on the Money Movement team. Our team is responsible for modernizing the Transfer Funds, Bill Payments, Zelle, Mobile Check Deposits, and Wire Transfer experiences. I’m also currently a grad student at the University of Texas in the Information Studies program with my focus being UX Research and Design. I have a BFA in Web Design & Interactive Media from The Art Institute of San Antonio.
In my free time I enjoy watching classic, contemporary, or indie films. Really any films. Check out my film stats on Letterboxd. You’ll also catch me exploring San Antonio’s amazing food scene, or working from a coffee shop. I enjoy spending time with my family and going on hikes and other adventures.
