# Ben Tremper > Head of Design @Boosted.ai Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/bentremper I'm a design leader focused on making digital products and services feel good. I'm a builder who cares deeply about the details that elevate a product, and I believe taste is what separates great experiences from a landscape of products that all look and act the same. In a world where it's easier than ever to ship something, thoughtful design becomes the differentiator. I specialize in designing for AI and emerging technologies, blending research-driven thinking, interaction design, and strong visual craft. I love solving design problems as much as growing individuals and teams. I lead as a player-coach, staying deeply involved in the work while guiding and inspiring high-performing teams. My career spans consumer and enterprise products across mature companies, late-stage startups, agencies, and early-stage ventures. I've had the opportunity to work with Boosted.ai, Faire, LinkedIn, Coursera, EMC, ExactTarget, DesignMap, and many early-stage startups. With a master's in interactive design and 15 years in the industry, I'm drawn to forward-thinking companies, whether it's a 0-1 product finding its feet or an established platform elevating its experience at scale. ## Work Experience ### Head of Design @ Boosted.ai Jan 2026 – Present Currently leading design at Boosted.ai, building AI that powers smarter investing for institutional and professional investors. - Upleveled product and design maturity across the platform while shipping core product work - Rebuilt the design team with staff and senior staff-level talent - Overhauled the company's brand identity, website narrative, and visual language, modernizing market presence from the ground up - Led creative strategy and investor materials that helped close a multi-million dollar Series B extension ### Senior Staff Product Designer @ Boosted.ai Jan 2025 – Jan 2026 ### Senior Staff Product Designer @ Faire Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco Bay Area Shipped noteworthy product experiences across the Discovery pillar, serving 600K+ retailers. - Launched a New Products Hub, driving a 1% order volume lift - Helped form and launch Faire's first AI-focused discovery pod, generating a 0.75% GMV lift from initial experiments -Shipped the company's first LLM features: natural language search and image search (camera-based product matching), with image search reaching 1% of total search volume -Introduced Your Weekly Drop, a personalized recommendation hub connecting retailers with fresh new products from undiscovered brands ### Head of Design @ Kiddo Health Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area Led design for a connected care platform using health data and AI to improve outcomes for children with metabolic and behavioral health conditions. - Spearheaded a major product pivot backed by 50+ interviews with parents, providers, and subject matter experts - Delivered product for five major health system pilots - Hired three senior leaders across product and engineering and improved cross-functional strategy, planning, and road mapping practices - Led design for a generative AI proof of concept for personalized child health recommendations ### Principal Product Designer @ LinkedIn Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco, California, United States I led design efforts on LinkedIn Pages and helped bring Services Marketplace, a 0-1 product to life, with a focus on enabling small business owners to advertise their services and do business on LinkedIn. ### Staff Product Designer @ LinkedIn Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | Sunnyvale, CA I designed horizontally focused experiences for consumer facing LinkedIn.com with special emphasis on infra projects spanning multiple pillars of the flagship product. ### Senior Product Designer @ Coursera Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Mountain View, CA I led learning experience projects across the core product including a complete redesign of the iOS and Android applications. ### Product Design Consultant @ Ben Tremper Design Jan 2014 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area I helped define business and product strategies and provided user experience design and visual design consulting services to a variety of agencies, technology companies and startups.
