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

Product designer with 9 years shipping at scale, now designing at the intersection of human behavior and AI. I've led design across multi-brand platforms used by millions, driven measurable revenue impact, and built AI products solo from zero to production using Claude Code.
 
I don't just design for AI. I build with it. Georgia Jean is a live AI meeting agent I designed and shipped solo. Zora is a social recommendation app I took from concept to production. Both are live.
 
At Thryv I led design across local search and business directory platforms across the US, Australia, and New Zealand, running A/B tests, redesigning core search experiences, and building scalable component systems used across multiple brands. Before that, full brand and e-commerce redesigns at Beverage Factory, and end-to-end product design for startups across fintech, consumer, and SaaS through my agency Michelle Jean Design.
 
I'm looking for roles where design, AI, and real product impact overlap.
