# Ario Jafarzadeh > Head of Product Design at Onebrief Location: Redwood City, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ario I design and scale product teams, particularly in deeply technical, ambiguous, and complex spaces where user’s trust is paramount. I’ve led UX across AI dev tools (LaunchDarkly), autonomous robotics (Serve Robotics), and consumer health tech (Abbott’s Lingo). Earlier, I designed hardware and cloud services at Amazon, worked on productivity apps at Google, and currently help create planning software for the U.S. military at Onebrief. Along the way, I’ve consulted with early-stage startups as a player-coach, helping them tighten product vision, ship faster, and hire better. I partner well with technical founders, especially when they’re navigating messy 0→1 terrain and need to make UX a strategic function, not just a layer of polish. The intersection of AI, trust, and complex systems is my jam. I also occasionally advise seed-stage teams if there’s a strong fit.
