He specialises in structured information architecture, premium user experience, and timeless interface design with a proven track record of delivering elegant, high-performing products across mobile, web, and in-store platforms. Alp was the Founding Product Designer of Runna, a leading running and fitness app that won “App of the Year” by Apple and has reached hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. His product work at Runna played a pivotal role in driving growth, retention, and a distinct brand identity in a highly competitive fitness-tech space. With a strong focus on user research, design systems, and emerging technologies, Alp has crafted products that have scaled to millions of users globally, consistently balancing business goals with user needs. Alongside hands-on product design, Alp brings strong design leadership capable of building and leading high-performing teams, defining design vision, and operating at a Head of Design level across startups and scale-ups.
