# Bee Christman > ID × Fashion | Product & Systems Design | Building Aroré — Hormone Therapy Intelligence Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/bee I’m Bee Christman, an industrial designer working across footwear, apparel, and physical products. I’m interested in how products shape function, culture, and belonging—especially when they interact closely with the body. My work is grounded in physical exploration, using prototyping, testing, and material investigation to understand how products are used, worn, and experienced over time. While my projects span different categories, they’re connected by a focus on systems: how products fit into larger contexts of use, access, and meaning. I draw from lived experience and critical design thinking to question norms and expand who products are for, while staying rooted in practical, buildable outcomes. ## Work Experience ### Footwear Studio Intern @ Oakland Style Lab Jan 2026 – Present | Oakland, California, United States ### Founder & Product Designer @ Arore Jan 2026 – Present -Founder of a digital health platform focused on hormone therapy intelligence and decision support -Designing and developing an iOS product for medication tracking, pharmacokinetic timelines, and data visualization -Building a structured drug database including interactions, dosage frameworks, and effect timelines -Exploring clinical data integrations (labs, HealthKit) and secure user data architecture -Leading product, UX, and system design from concept through pre-launch ### Jr Sailing Operations & Systems lead @ Encinal Yacht Club Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | Alameda, California, United States • Acted as a trusted advisor to program leadership, offering real-time insights and institutional knowledge to support daily decisions • Supported operational planning and overall program flow through flexible, cross-functional involvement • Collaborated with senior staff and the Program Director to troubleshoot issues, align priorities, and maintain program consistency • Managed purchasing of equipment, supplies, and replacement parts to ensure program readiness and reduce downtime • Performed light maintenance and repairs on motorboats, docks, and support gear across a 100+ vessel fleet • Provided ongoing systems-level support, stepping in across roles to resolve issues, prevent disruptions, and uphold program standards ### Jr Sailing Fleet manger & Operations Support @ Encinal Yacht Club Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 | Alameda, California, United States •Managed the upkeep, repair, and general maintenance of a fleet of 100+ sailboats and powerboats, ensuring safety and readiness for daily use across multiple programs •Oversaw purchasing and inventory for parts, equipment, and supplies, maintaining cost-effective and timely procurement processes •Provided on-the-ground operational support to meet daily program needs, including gear setup, troubleshooting, and hands-on assistance to staff and instructors •Supported sponsorship acquisition and community partnerships through outreach, logistics coordination, and maintaining relationships with donors and supporters •Acted as a key institutional knowledge holder and seasonal staff resource, helping train and guide new hires on boat care, safety procedures, and operational workflows ### Teaching Assistant - Industrial Design and Engineering Department @ Diablo Valley College Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Pleasant Hill, California, United States -Assistant in teaching introductory and advanced industrial design courses as well as intro to manual machining -Maintenance and upkeep of Stratays J printers ### 3D Printer & Laser Cuter Laboratory Technician @ Diablo Valley College Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Pleasant Hill, California, United States -Running 3d and 2d programs on machine -Running routine maintenance and calibration on ultimater 3d printers and universal laser cutters ### B2B Website Infromation Control @ Llewellyn Marine Supply, Inc Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Alameda County, California, United States Updating website and database item information, pictures, part numbers, and descriptions. ### Inside Sales/ B2B sales @ Llewellyn Marine Supply, Inc Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Alameda, California, United States Taking orders via phone for will call and delivery.
