# Matthew Hewes > Principal Product Designer @ Box | AI Design, User Experience & Product Strategy Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/matthewhewes I'm a Principal Product Designer at Box, leading AI design initiatives (among other things), working directly with executives and leaders to craft product strategy and push the boundaries of what Box can become. My job is equal parts visionary and reality-checker - I'm constantly brainstorming what Box looks like in 1, 2, 5+ years, pushing our visual design standards forward, and sometimes scaring people with bold AI ideas just to keep everyone thinking bigger. I love challenging teams to break out of familiar patterns and try new approaches, especially when it comes to integrating AI in ways that actually make sense for how people work with their content (rather than just because we can).RetryMH ## Work Experience ### Principal Product Designer @ Box Jan 2023 – Present | Redwood City, California, United States ### Staff Product Designer @ Box Jan 2020 – Jan 2023 | Redwood City, California, United States ### Senior Product Designer @ Box Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | Redwood City, California ### Principal Product Designer @ WillowTree, Inc.
