# Taylor Hiette > Senior Product Designer | Scaling Complex Products for Millions | Design Systems, UX, Visual Craft, AI Workflows Location: St Louis, Missouri, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/taylorhiette Hi, I’m Taylor — a Senior Product Designer focused on scaling complex systems into clear, intuitive experiences. I design products used by millions, leading end-to-end work across UX, interaction design, and visual systems. Most recently, I’ve contributed to large-scale platforms at College Board, helping shape experiences that serve over 6M+ users annually while aligning product, engineering, and business goals. My work is a blend of: - Systems thinking (designing beyond screens into scalable frameworks) - UX clarity (simplifying complex, data-heavy workflows) - Visual craft (ensuring products feel as good as they function) I’ve led and contributed to: Enterprise rebrands and scalable design systems Core product experiences including navigation, search, and onboarding Cross-functional initiatives spanning product, engineering, marketing, and accessibility I actively integrate AI into my workflow for research synthesis, ideation, and rapid iteration—accelerating how quickly I explore and validate product directions. My background in athletics shapes how I work: disciplined, iterative, and focused on precision—from high-level system design down to interaction details. I’m especially interested in building products where complexity is high, impact is real, and design plays a critical role in shaping how systems scale.
