# Zach Kozac > Sr. UX Design Manager at Arine Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/zachkozac I'm a product experience-crafter, customer empathizer and minimalism enthusiast. I'm a firm believer in process-driven designing and know how to solve a problem from research, through solution exploration, execution and results analysis (and everything in between). I've been lucky enough to work with various different industries and cutting edge technologies - solving problems big and small for folks in manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and energy. I've worked with companies big and small and had the privilege to bounce ideas around with some of the best and brightest of the startup/tech scene in sunny Philadelphia and foggy San Francisco - from product design with FE, BE and mobile engineers to last-minute seed-funding pitch deck design with founders. In the last 15+ years, I've designed, led, and produced work on projects ranging from: • Product/Interaction Design (UI/UX) • User Research/Testing • Founding Design Systems • Wireframing • Identity & Brand Strategy • Responsive Design & Interactive Campaigns • Print & Signage • Interior Design • Typography and Iconography • Light HTML/CSS (SCSS) I've got an adventurous 4-legged sidekick named Eleanor and love a good roof/mountain top view. If you want to know a bit more about me, shoot me a message. I'm a sucker for a good cup of coffee and nice glass of whiskey (not typically at the same time). ## Work Experience ### UX Design Manager @ Arine Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area Applying design to the current product while creating a strategy for design across the product, processes and culture of the company. ### Staff Product Designer @ DroneDeploy Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area Leading designers and cross-team initiatives.
