# Carmine C. > Product Designer Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/carmine I’m a Product Designer that uses my unconventional career history to generate designs and complex workflows that are not only appealing visually, but satisfyingly simple to interact with. I spent 8 fantastic years at Apple dynamically approaching and solving technical issues- a job that directly enriched people’s lives. I then spent almost 3 years making chocolate at M&M Mars and handling shipping logistics- two divergent processes, both backed heavily by data and insights. Fast-forward several years and I finally found a way to directly enrich people’s lives, by using data and insights. I make B2B saas software for small family businesses and large corporate giants; ones we rely on to live comfortable, efficient, and modern lives. ## Work Experience ### Product Designer @ WorkWave Jan 2020 – Present | New York City Metropolitan Area I generate desktop, tablet, and mobile designs and workflows for small and large saas & b2b companies. What I specialize in is: Wireframing, building interactive prototypes, corporate branding methods, and design library content building, management, and strategy. ### User Experience Designer @ PepTalkHer Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Greater New York City Area • Conducted research on how to increase user engagement. • Redesigned the app based on user interviews and insights gathered. • Boosted likelihood to use the app 3.4 out of 5 to 4 out of 5. • Increased user confidence from a 3.4 out of 5 to 4.4 out of 5. • Grew the likelihood of recommending this app to a friend 3.9 out of 5 to 4.5 out of 5. ### Outbound Logistics @ Mars Wrigley Confectionery Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Hackettstown, New Jersey • Accounted for all M&M shipments throughout North America and Europe. • Oversaw all mass-palletizing and conveyance machinery. • Developed creative mechanical strategies for increasing machine uptime. • Exceeded role expectations by developing shipping patterns to increase usable truck weight and space, and minimize shipping and fuel costs. ### Chocolatier @ Mars Wrigley Confectionery Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | New Jersey • Personally crafted and sensory tested raw M&M chocolate from scratch. • Came up with innovative measures to ensure chocolate is made to the highest standards possible using a wide array of methods. • Slashed $1,012,000 of plastic waste in one year by reusing expensive shipping material. ### Operations Specialist @ Apple Jan 2010 – Jan 2017 | New York City Metropolitan Area • Personally mentored 150+ employees on company culture and career development. • Lead 10+ store-level inventory audits in NJ/NYC metro area. • Presented key inventory reports to store and market leadership teams. • Lead the best inventory accountability figures 5 years in a row and specifically mentored other stores on product accountability best practices. • Triaged and repaired Apple products at the Genius Bar. • Part of a team that moved piece by piece, the entire SoHo NYC Apple Store to a temporary location one block away and was up and running in under 24 hours. ## Education ### UX Research in UX Design Flatiron School Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 ### Diesel Mechanics Technology/Technician Engine City Technical Institute Jan 2008 – Jan 2010 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/cmine - Portfolio: https://www.cmine.cc --- Source: https://flows.cv/carmine JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/carmine/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-30
