About

Alp is a multi-award-winning digital product designer with 12+ years of experience shaping best-in-class digital experiences for global brands such as Nike, Atlassian, Salesforce, Rolls-Royce, Zalando, Strava, Mercedes-Benz, Virgin Media O2, and high-growth startups like Runna and many more.

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 nominated “App of the Year” by Apple and has reached hundreds of thousands of users worldwide.

In 2023, Runna raised £5 million ($6.3 million) in a new venture capital round, bringing its total funding to over £8 million ($10 million). As Founding Product Designer, Alp’s work on Version 2 and the Apple Watch experience helped elevate the product, strengthen user engagement, and contribute to greater investor confidence. With Version 2, Runna grew to over 200k subscribers. With Version 3, the product went on to achieve a Strava acquisition and an Apple App of the Year nomination. 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. He applies his proprietary “Startup Booster” methodology, a lean and principle-led design framework that has helped multiple early-stage ventures gain traction, increase conversion, and reach investment readiness in record time.
