# Aaiza Khalid > Founding Designer @Aviary AI Location: United States, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/aaiza Hi, I'm Aaiza — a product designer and design engineer who thrives in fast-moving startup environments. I’ve built products from the ground up, working across product definition, UX, and frontend implementation to bring bold ideas to life. At bitHuman, I led the design of ImagineX — the world’s first prompt-to-avatar tool — where I defined the visual identity, information architecture, and shipped production UI used by both consumers and enterprise clients. I worked closely with engineers to rapidly prototype, test assumptions, and deliver expressive, branded agent experiences. Before that, I was at Unit21, designing internal tooling for fraud and AML teams. I collaborated with engineers, PMs, and compliance teams to streamline complex workflows for investigative teams in high-stakes environments. I approach design with a systems mindset — combining data-driven thinking with high-fidelity prototyping and a sharp eye for detail. With a background in systems design engineering and frontend development (React, TypeScript, shadcn/ui), I bridge design and engineering to ensure thoughtful, high-quality execution. Outside of work, I’m passionate about design thinking as a tool for humanitarian impact, and I love exploring how thoughtful design can shift systems and spark change. ## Work Experience ### Founding Product Designer @ AviaryAI Jan 2025 – Present ### Founding Product Designer @ bitHuman Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 - Built the first platform that turns natural language prompts into fully functional, branded virtual agents— streamlining agent creation for both individuals and enterprise clients. - Designed UX for customizing agent personality, voice, appearance, and skills — translating complex AI into intuitive, real-time interfaces - Brought virtual agents to life through expressive brand-forward characters blending emotional design with practical use cases across enterprises - Developed and maintained a modular design system (Figma, shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS) to support scalable product growth and visual consistency - Shipped polished, production-ready UIs using React, Next.js, and TypeScript, ensuring design fidelity from concept to code. ### Product Designer @ Unit21 Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 - Defined, designed and delivered an interactive end-to-end fraud investigation tool for a SaaS platform, improving efficiency of the process by 80• - Designed alongside 6+ design partners, regularly conducting user walkthroughs, ethnographic research, usability testing and post-beta release testing - Contributed to design system refinements and documentation to support handoff and scale. ### Design Thinking Instructor & Program Lead @ Code.X Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 • Taught a Design Thinking camp to 25 high school students in a displaced community while collaborating with fellow instructors and TA’s. • Led students through the design process to design and code mobile apps to solve challenges in their community. • Mentored students and encouraged participation in international hackathons. ### Product Designer @ Unit21 Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 - Designed intuitive ML explanability features for alert’s risk scoring system and delivered to over 50 financial partners - Collaborated with ML team, engineers, product and executive leadership to ensure user and business goals are exceeded. ### Product Designer @ DOZR Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 • Researched and designed automated data visualization reports to help Suppliers understand their monthly performance, consequently increasing their booked rental rates. • Conducted interviews, identified a key area of focus, led cross-team collaboration and wireframed flows to set the project vision. ### Software Engineer Intern @ ResQ Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 Built a React-based self-serve onboarding platform for Vendors to join ResQ's network.
