# Hally Bowman > Lead UX Designer | Generative AI UX · Learning Systems · Feedback & Semantic Design Location: San Jose, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/hally Lead UX Designer shaping AI-enhanced tools and learning experiences that help humans think better, adapt faster, and co-evolve with intelligent systems. I’m a human-centered designer who increasingly designs for, and alongside, AI. My work lives at the intersection of UX, learning, and generative systems, where both people and LLMs need thoughtful scaffolding to engage in context-aware decisions and co-create meaningful outcomes. Currently, that means prototyping mobile-first feedback tools powered by Gemini-generated summaries, building dynamic persona systems with NotebookLM, and collaborating with data scientists, learning architects, and workflow designers to integrate AI into real-world enterprise training environments. What drives me is translating complexity into clarity, crafting intuitive experiences that serve human goals while shaping how AI systems learn, respond, and adapt. I believe good design isn’t just for users anymore, it’s also for the systems that free them up to think more strategically, connect the dots, and invent what comes next. I bring 10+ years of product and UX design experience across SaaS, healthcare, and enterprise learning, and I’m especially focused on how generative AI can transform feedback, upskilling, and collaboration at scale. If you’re exploring how to make AI more teachable, usable, or meaningfully aligned with human intent, I’d love to connect. ## Work Experience ### User Experience Designer @ Genentech Jan 2024 – Present | South San Francisco, California, United States Bringing UX and service design practices into a legacy learning organization by embedding research, prototyping, and strategic facilitation across enterprise training and skills development areas Shaping AI-augmented tools that bridge human learning goals with LLM-based interaction models Designed an internal AI learning tool powered by a custom-trained LLM to align emerging AI capabilities with enterprise learning goals Built dynamic “Day-in-the-Life” personas with NotebookLM, accelerating synthesis and enabling self-serve customer insights Prototyped mobile-first performance feedback tools supported by Gemini-generated summaries for employee self-awareness insights and development opportunities Led speculative design sprints that surfaced future-facing concepts, recently facilitating product ideas for AI-enhanced patient education Provide design coaching and facilitate structured sprint workshops that guide cross-functional teams from research to concept using human-centered and systems-thinking frameworks ### Advisor & Design Consultant @ Various Startups Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area Contributed design strategy and facilitation expertise to Co-Change Collective, helping non-profit teams apply agile, human-centered practices to social impact work Advised a local arts non-profit in securing funding, mentoring a high school student on a data storytelling project and guiding the creation of accessible visualizations aligned with community engagement goals ### Staff Product Designer @ Jasper Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Remote, SF Bay Area Led UX design for Jasper AI’s core content editor, designing and launching in-document AI commands that helped users activate generative support directly within their writing flow Designed for simplicity, context-awareness, and ease of discovery, laying groundwork for canvas-style LLM interfaces now common in Gemini and ChatGPT Shipped inline AI command UI that supported tailored generative actions based on user intent, tone, and document structure Conducted usability testing and behavioral analysis to validate engagement patterns and reduce churn Explored activation patterns (text input, command bar, inline surface), ultimately designing a conditional system that responded to user mode, cognitive state, and moment of need Prototyped interaction flows in Figma, informed by usage data and behavioral telemetry to prioritize usability over novelty Collaborated with PMs, engineers, and marketers to align the editor UX with product strategy, user onboarding, and growth initiatives ### UX Product Design Manager @ Eargo Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area Directed digital product design strategy across Eargo’s connected hearing health platform, ensuring strategic alignment across UX, product, and business priorities Improved patient onboarding, engagement, and cross-device continuity pre- and post-purchase Prioritized opportunities for personalization, accessibility, and cross-functional collaboration Led design roadmap planning, execution, and mentorship across the design team Partnered with product, marketing, and data to align UX with go-to-market efforts and customer experience metrics ### Lead UX/UI Designer @ Eargo Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area Led UX and UI design across a multi-platform ecosystem supporting Eargo’s connected hearing health platform Designed native mobile apps, eCommerce experiences, and clinician-facing web tools to enhance patient care delivery and hearing aid management Defined design systems and frameworks for workflows, interface patterns, and usability practices that enabled repeatable success across teams Championed “Leading by Design” initiatives to align product, engineering, and design through cross-functional design alignment and design maturity efforts.
