Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/michaelgrover Product Designer at DocuSign. I previously worked at the startup Clause for 3 years as the UX Lead, until we were bought by DocuSign in 2021, at which point I joined their team.

I also have my own freelance clients in the consumer packaged goods industry such as Little Bird Kitchen, Salsa God, Mitchmallows, and TAPlife. I love hiking in the Hudson Valley, rock climbing, and learning new things. I My goal is to always be learning and broadening my skillset. Living in NYC makes this easy; there are always lectures and events going on where I can learn new things and meet interesting people. Before the pandemic, I frequently participated in hackathons. In April 2018, I participated on Startup Bus 2018 and created a friend-finding app called Rabble. I won Startup Bus 2017 with a funeral planning app called Daisy and was featured in a five-episode podcast mini-series by Gimlet Media. michaelgroverdesign.com ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Docusign Jan 2023 – Present | New York, New York, United States At Docusign I work on the AI Design team where we integrate LLMs and Agents into our Intelligent Agreement Management platform.

The animated prototypes also made design handoff to our developers very smooth. ### Graphic and UX Designer @ Studio Sanderson Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | New York, NY Designing complex multi-page websites and directing a web developer.
