Profile: https://flows.cv/christinaday

I’m a Senior Product Designer with 10+ years of experience designing data-rich platforms, internal tools, and customer-facing products across B2B SaaS and emerging technology.

I specialize in untangling complex, ambiguous problem spaces—working from first principles to turn dense information, evolving requirements, and real operational constraints into clear, intuitive product experiences.

I’ve led end-to-end product design for platforms that support high-stakes decision-making, partnering closely with product managers, engineers, and data teams from early discovery through launch and iteration. My work often lives at the intersection of data, systems, and human judgment, where clarity and trust are essential.

In recent years, I’ve also worked hands-on in production and fabrication environments. This experience sharpened my ability to design for real-world constraints, scalability, and execution—and has made me a more pragmatic, accountable product designer, especially in cross-functional settings.

Core strengths
	•	End-to-end product design (UX, UI, interaction, systems)
	•	Designing for complex workflows, data-heavy interfaces, and internal tools
	•	Organizing ambiguity and shaping problems collaboratively
	•	Strong partnership with engineering and data teams
	•	High craft standards balanced with speed and impact

I’m excited by products where design meaningfully shapes decisions, outcomes, and trust—and where thoughtful systems design can have real leverage at scale.
