Howdy
I’m Alessandro Mingione, a designer from Rome, Italy, living in Oakland, California.
I’m a design generalist at heart. I’ve been designing things for other people since my early teens. Over the years I experimented with illustration, editorial design, brand design, web design, type design and, for the past decade, interaction design.
Today I design at Tailscale, where we are building peer-to-peer networking tools that dramatically lower the bar for creating secure, quiet, personal internets. Here I’ve touched everything from our website and design system, to end to end workflows that span mobile, desktop, and web apps, crafting some of our most clicked buttons and beloved rectangles.
In a previous life I designed at Palantir, where I led Design for the Security product area and contributed to Blueprint.
Outside of work you may find me sipping Taiwanese oolongs, hunting vintage americana, forest bathing in the redwoods, writing wikipedia articles, or listening to hard bop and funky jazz.
