> Senior Product Designer  → Fractional Product Design Lead | AI · Voice · FinTech | Helping teams turn complex problems into simple, intuitive products

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/maryn1

I design consumer products at the intersection of mobile, AI, and fintech, an intersection where the UX problems are genuinely hard and the stakes for getting them wrong are high.
 
Over 10 years I've worked across the full spectrum: from co-founding Continuum, a marketplace where I led zero-to-one product definition, to roles at companies like Voxer and Rafa.AI. At Rafa.AI I designed AI-powered discovery and onboarding experiences for users making high-stakes financial decisions, where trust, clarity, and the feeling of being in control weren't nice-to-haves, they were the core design challenge.
 
What I bring to a team is a co-founder's instinct for what actually matters combined with a senior designer's discipline around craft and systems. I'm comfortable in ambiguity, fast in execution, and direct in design reviews.
 
Currently open to Senior and Staff Product Designer roles, as well as contract and fractional engagements, particularly at early-stage AI companies where the product experience is still being defined.
 
If that sounds like where you are, I'd love to connect.
