# Roxanne Mustafa > Staff Product Designer, Creative Leader, Data Viz Specialist, Systems Thinker, Start up Organizer Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/roxannemustafa As a Staff/Principle Product Designer, I help teams understand people, deeply and honestly, in the most complex technical or niche spaces. I use human-centered design, systems thinking, and AI-augmented insight to analyze problems clearly and build solutions responsibly. Every feature I design is measured by its impact, its clarity, and its respect for the people using it. Whether I’m working on observability, developer experience, or AI-assisted workflows, my aim is the same: create tools that make difficult work feel supported, intuitive, and meaningful. I believe technology should expand human capability, not erode it. The most transformative tools in my life haven’t been the most advanced, but the one most aligned with real need, while being thoughtful, reliable, and grounded in values like honesty, clarity, and empowerment. ## Work Experience ### Sr Staff Product Designer @ Chronosphere Jan 2023 – Present | New York, New York, United States ### Board Member and Technology Advisor @ BUILD A DREAM INCUBATOR Jan 2024 – Present | New York, United States ### Board Member, Technology Advisor and Community Organizer @ STATEN ISLAND URBAN CENTER INC Jan 2019 – Present | Staten Island, New York, United States ### Design Manager for Data & Insights @ Spotify Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | New York City Metropolitan Area I work closely with talented designers and product teams who design and build the data tools and products for Spotifiers and beyond.
