# Alex Johnson > Senior Product Designer — AI Developer Tools & Technical Workflows Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/alexjohnson With over 10 years of experience as a Product Designer and UX Designer, my goal is to make every product I work on smarter, simpler, and more enjoyable to use. I love turning user feedback into design improvements that actually matter — whether it’s SaaS platforms, consumer apps, or AI/ML tools. I geek out on human-centered design, design systems, and finding that sweet spot where business goals and user happiness overlap. At the end of the day, my mission is pretty simple: build products people trust, love, and actually want to use. ## Work Experience ### Product Designer @ Matroid, Inc. Jan 2021 – Jan 2025 | Palo Alto, California, United States I redesigned AI model-building workflows to be faster and more intuitive, while partnering with engineering and customer teams to improve data labeling, training, deployment, and performance monitoring. I also designed new features—including video summarization, cycle-time analysis for manufacturing, and an airport dashboard for tracking passenger flow—that expanded the platform’s impact across industries. These improvements accelerated delivery, boosted model accuracy, and increased customer adoption. ### Senior UX Designer - International Portals @ BOLD Jan 2018 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area Collaborated with product, data, engineering, and research to establish feature product-market fit in international markets. - Partner with research to strategize around foundational research, develop journey maps, and run usability tests to design and launch new features across three resume-building portals. - Mentored design colleagues in rapid prototyping by teaching the basics of Axure RP software, to create test ready prototypes. ### UX Designer - Consumer Products @ BOLD Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area Designed new product experiences for online resume and cover letter building tools to increase paid subscriptions for new users in the U.S. - Tested and launched a new interaction pattern for building a resume on Resume Now that increased the number of paid subscribers by 3% and increased engagement with our pre-written phrases by 20%. - Developed a new onboarding experience for My Perfect Resume and My Perfect Cover Letter focussing on personalization.
