# Saawan Ebe > Senior Product Designer · UX, Systems & Strategy · 10+ years driving adoption & revenue in SaaS · Multidisciplinary by conviction Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/saawan I've spent 10+ years designing digital products that move metrics — adoption, retention, revenue. But I've always believed the best UX designers are also students of visual culture, language, and ideas. Currently at Trimble. Previously Fieldwire, Nulab. I also illustrate, letter, and write. Open to senior roles, select freelance, and conversations worth having · saawanebe.com ## Work Experience ### Senior User Experience Designer @ Trimble Inc. Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area When I joined, Trimble Unity Maintain had only a basic MVP calendar for tasks—but customers found it confusing and unlike a real calendar. This made it difficult to see when tasks were scheduled, while competitors offered far better solutions. To understand the root problem, I spoke with customers about how they managed tasks, then used AI to spot patterns in their feedback. After prototyping and testing, I worked with the team to adapt a 3rd-party library. Six months later, we launched a task calendar customers loved—closing a key competitive gap. ### Lead Product Designer @ StruxHub Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area As the first and only designer at Struxhub, I partnered closely with the CEO to shape the product from the ground up. I introduced a scalable design system, streamlined onboarding for multi-level projects, and created a QR-based badge system that cut authentication time dramatically. Beyond design execution, I facilitated adoption through workshops and helped bring consistency and clarity to a fast-moving early-stage startup. ### Senior Product Designer @ Fieldwire Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area At Fieldwire, I worked on web and mobile tools used across millions of construction projects worldwide. My focus was on solving real pain points, from making location tagging effortless to enabling faster search across massive sets of drawings. I also led the design of new workflows like specifications management, which saw rapid adoption and expanded the platform’s role in project management. ### Product Designer @ Nulab Inc. Jan 2016 – Jan 2020 | Greater New York City Area At Nulab, I redesigned the mobile experience for Backlog, elevating app ratings from under three stars to 4.6 while doubling usage. I also tackled collaboration in Cacoo, simplifying sharing and boosting team adoption. Working on tools used by millions across 190+ countries, I learned how to balance usability, visual clarity, and global scale in product design. ### Product Designer @ Bluecore Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 | New York At Bluecore, I focused on giving sales teams the tools they needed to succeed. By redesigning an internal dashboard to surface real-time performance data, I helped unlock a 28% boost in sales. My role bridged product design and marketing, ensuring that design contributed directly to business outcomes. ### Founder @ Studio Saawan Jan 2008 – Jan 2016 For nearly a decade, I ran Studio Saawan, working as a one-person design agency with clients worldwide. From branding to product design, I delivered end-to-end solutions, including a redesign for InterviewStreet (now HackerRank) that helped the company secure funding and grow into a $100M business. This experience gave me a deep appreciation for adaptability, ownership, and the impact of design on business growth. ### Designer (SVA Campus Store) @ School of Visual Arts Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | New York Created official brand merchandise for School of Visual Arts on behalf of the SVA Campus Store. My design was chosen and was subsequently printed on T-shirts given to all the graduating students of SVA in 2015 (both BFA and MFA). ## Education ### Master of Fine Arts - MFA in Designer as Author/ Entrepreneur School of Visual Arts - MFA Design ### B.
