# Barry Richardson > Lead Product Designer Location: Antioch, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/barryrichardson I’m a Staff Product Designer with 15+ years of experience shaping enterprise SaaS products, design systems, and AI-enabled workflows. My focus is on turning complexity into clarity—building scalable design solutions that help organizations reduce friction, improve adoption, and deliver human-centered experiences at scale. I thrive at the intersection of design strategy, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration, partnering closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure design decisions tie directly to measurable business outcomes. Whether it’s leading the creation of a unified design system, rethinking user journeys across highly regulated industries like healthcare and energy, or exploring emerging AI/AR design patterns, I bring both craft excellence and strategic leadership to the table. Highlights • Built and scaled a design system adopted across multiple enterprise applications, improving consistency and reducing developer handoff time by 30%. • Partnered with engineering and data science teams to design accuracy dashboards, improving stakeholder trust in AI-driven analysis tools. • Designed service blueprints and end-to-end user flows that enabled expansion into new markets, including the Canadian energy sector. • Mentored and guided design teams, driving adoption of best practices in usability testing, accessibility, and cross-functional design reviews. For me, design is not just about creating interfaces—it’s about unlocking business impact, fostering trust in technology, and enabling teams to deliver products people love to use. 📩 Let’s connect: barry.richardson@gmail.com ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Verantos Jan 2022 – Present - Lead end-to-end design of enterprise product features, resulting in a 25% increase in user engagement and improved task completion rates across core workflows. - Designed and tested user-centered prototypes, translating usability insights into high-impact UI/UX enhancements that reduced support tickets by 30%. - Mapped complex service design blueprints to identify pain points in the data delivery pipeline, driving system-wide optimizations that reduced latency by 40%. - Accelerated design velocity using Figma, Material UI, and AI-assisted tools to prototype, iterate, and deliver high-fidelity solutions 2x faster without compromising quality. ### Design Lead @ Stealth AI Startup Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | San Jose, California, United States - Translated user research into actionable use cases, improving UX for a variety of homeowner roles and increasing task relevance across the product. - Collaborated cross-functionally on augmented reality design challenges, helping launch immersive spatial planning features that improved design accuracy. - Conducted competitive audits and usability testing, driving iterative improvements to the design system and enhancing UI consistency. - Led branding and commercial website design, creating a unified visual identity and improving brand clarity across digital touchpoints. - Prototyped and delivered AR-driven design solutions using Figma, Anima, and custom tooling to accelerate product development and innovation. ### Senior Product Designer @ Delta Dental Ins.
