# Dana Karnon > Senior Product/UX Designer | Information Architecture | Data Visualization | B2B SaaS | User-Centered Design Location: Redwood City, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/danakarnon I'm a Senior Product Designer and former front-end developer who specializes in untangling complex B2B systems — designing end-to-end product experiences across enterprise platforms, internal tools, and operational software that feel effortless despite real underlying complexity. I bring: • End-to-end ownership — from discovery, user interviews and problem definition through engineering collaboration, launch and iteration in fast-moving product teams • Design systems and component libraries that bridge design and engineering (Figma, SHADCN, etc.) • Active use of LLMs — I use Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini daily for research synthesis, rapid prototyping, and workflow automation • Senior mentorship on design craft and user-centric thinking, with a direct, informative collaboration style focused on finding the underlying problem and prioritizing user needs ## Work Experience ### Senior UX and Product Designer @ R-Zero Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | Redwood City, CA Leading end-to-end product design for an innovative B2B analytics SaaS platform helping organizations optimize workspace utilization and achieve sustainability goals. • Lead the redesign of a legacy multi-persona platform resolving fundamental information architecture and usability problems, resulting in a successful migration of all enterprise customers and improved velocity of internal admin portal build • Built a Figma component library, creating component documentation and usage guidelines that enabled two engineering teams to ship visually consistent features with minimal design debt • Designed complex data visualizations including interactive spatial floor plans, real-time occupancy maps, and KPI dashboards that transformed raw sensor data into actionable insights for non-technical users • Drove design decisions through continuous user research embedded in customer success workflows, using qualitative insights to validate and iterate on information architecture, interaction patterns, and feature prioritization • Built customer-facing dashboards using AI-assisted prototyping to create interactive interfaces for testing and validating design directions with potential and existing customers, generating product insights that informed roadmap decisions. ### Senior Product Designer @ CBRE Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | California, United States Designed an enterprise SaaS platform that streamlined the full data quality rule development lifecycle for internal teams managing large-scale real estate data. • Designed the information architecture for a multi-persona platform serving distinct roles (requestors, developers, validators, remediators), transforming a fragmented workflow across Excel, SQL editors, and Tableau into a single cohesive experience built to scale • Worked within CBRE's Emerald Design System to apply and adapt components across a highly complex, multi-role platform — ensuring interaction consistency between technical developer workflows and business-facing governance tools. ### Senior User Experience Designer @ LinkedIn Jan 2020 – Jan 2023 | Sunnyvale, CA Led end-to-end product design initiatives across web and mobile that transformed how LinkedIn's internal teams access and act on workplace data. • Designed and launched a centralized workplace analytics platform unifying data from multiple disconnected systems — creating decision-first dashboards and information architecture that increased adoption and eliminated the Excel export workflows causing data inconsistencies across the organization • Built an internal Figma component library grounded in LinkedIn's company-wide design system, selecting and documenting the components needed for internal reporting use cases; collaborated with a data analyst to implement a JSON theme template in Power BI that became the standard for all internal workplace reporting • Established data visualization standards and a comprehensive style guide for internal data reporting, and taught the data team UX principles for effective data storytelling in Power BI — creating a self-sustaining design system that the team continues to apply independently • Designed mission-critical mobile applications for COVID-19 workplace management including office attendance flows, desk reservations, and health attestations — used company-wide during one of LinkedIn's most operationally complex periods • Mentored junior designers and cross-functional partners while collaborating with product managers, engineers, and data analysts to balance business requirements, technical constraints, and user needs ### Senior UI/UX Designer @ Datometry Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area Designed the end-to-end user experience for the company's inaugural cloud-analytics SaaS product. • Collaborated extensively with database engineers to understand and translate complex technical operations into intuitive interfaces for business users • Transformed the company's digital presence through comprehensive UX/UI redesign, including strategic landing pages and interactive campaigns that reduced homepage bounce rate to 43% while effectively communicating product value to enterprise customers • Mentored a junior designer and managed a third-party development team to ensure proper implementation of design specifications ### UI/UX Designer - Contractor @ Datometry Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco, CA ### Founder, Lead Designer | Front End Developer @ Themes for Desk.com Jan 2013 – Jan 2017 Established and grew a business as the exclusive design partner for a Salesforce-acquired enterprise support platform. • Generated recurring revenue by designing and selling over 100 responsive web templates that enabled businesses to self-implement professional interfaces at a fraction of custom design costs • Architected complex UX solutions for form-based workflows that automated customer support processes, requiring in-depth understanding of enterprise application architecture and business logic • Led internal engineering teams while collaborating extensively with client stakeholders across diverse industries and functions, developing expertise in facilitating effective communication between technical and non-technical business partners ## Education ### Master of Arts (MA) in English/Spanish Translation and Linguistics San José State University ### Visual Design for the Interactive Web UCSC Silicon Valley Extension ### Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Special Honors Curriculum, Spanish Hunter College ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/dana-mor-karnon --- Source: https://flows.cv/danakarnon JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/danakarnon/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
