AI Analysis Platform

Senior Product Designer

NY, United States

As a leading AI platform for computer vision, natural language processing, and audio recognition, Clarifai has helped organizations transform unstructured data into structured information at an impressive rate. In my role as a senior product designer, I have had the opportunity to define user journeys and create wireframes, prototypes, and other design materials to effectively communicate design concepts to the product team and internal stakeholders.

One of the key challenges I faced in this role was the need to simplify complex product flows while still meeting the needs of our customers. I accomplished this by conducting research and usability studies, and by working closely with cross-functional teams to understand their needs and concerns.

In addition to working on specific product design, I also played a key role in developing and expanding the company's design system for its application platform. This involved creating a consistent and intuitive design rationale, as well as explaining visual choices to the team and ensuring that the design system was easy to use and understand.

Overall, my experience at Clarifai has been incredibly rewarding, and I am proud of the work I have done to help the company achieve its goals. I am confident that the skills and knowledge I have gained will continue to serve me well in my future endeavours.

COMMUNITY


One of the first projects I worked on was redesigning the community page. We wanted to create a more intuitive and user-friendly interface allowing users to browse models, workflows, and AI modules easily. Through user research and iterative design, we created a page that was easy to navigate, with clear calls to action and an intuitive layout.

As part of the redesign for the community page, my goal was to create a more intuitive and user-friendly interface allowing users to easily browse models, workflows, and AI modules. Working closely with our UX researcher, we identified the users' needs and pain points with the current design.

MODELS & WORKFLOWS

Through a series of user tests and iterative design, we introduced a tile and list format to view models and workflows, creating a clear hierarchy of information and making it much easier for users to understand how each model works or what each workflow entails. I created a page that was easy to navigate, with clear calls to action and an intuitive layout. The final design significantly improved over the original interface and received positive user feedback.

ICONS

Another project I worked on was creating icons for each model type in a unified context. This involved collaborating closely with the product team to understand the different models available on the platform and designing a series of icons to help users understand the different model types and their functions.

The icons and color coding system helped make the different model types more apparent and distinguishable, even for users needing a technical background. Overall, this project was essential in making the Clarifai AI platform more user-friendly and accessible to a broader range of users.


AI ASSIST

One of the exciting projects I had to work on was to design the configuration for AI assist settings for a legacy labeling task. The project aimed to preserve the user's ability to configure AI-assistance settings for legacy labeling tasks.

I worked closely with the UX researcher to understand the user's needs and pain points. Through user story mapping and creating a user persona, we identified the user's journey and created a user story for the AI integrator. The user story involved the AI integrator selecting an existing workflow and mapping any/all concepts in the workflow's models to concepts in their task's vocab.

The project was complex as the system had to identify common patterns and apply the correct labeling to images in real time. It also had to be flexible enough to handle variations in data and labeling requirements. Through an iterative design process, I created a system that was easy to use and efficient for users. The result was a flow that allowed users to configure AI-assistance settings for labeling tasks, making the labeling process faster and more accurate.


DESIGN SYSTEM

As the senior product designer at Clarifai, I managed and maintained the design system. This meant coming up with new components and prototypes for each story and updating existing components to keep them consistent with the overall design language. The process of managing and maintaining the design system was a challenging task. It required close collaboration with the engineering team to ensure the components were easily implementable and worked seamlessly with the platform.

One of the most challenging aspects of the project was the need to keep the design system up-to-date with the constantly evolving needs of the platform. As new features and functionality were added, we needed to ensure that the design system could accommodate these changes while maintaining the overall coherence and consistency of the user experience.
To address this challenge, I worked closely with the product team to develop a process for regularly reviewing and updating the design system. This involved a thorough analysis of user feedback and a review of industry trends and best practices.

The end result of these efforts was a design system that was flexible, scalable, highly efficient, and user-friendly. By streamlining the design process and providing a set of consistent design patterns, we improved the design team's efficiency and delivered a better user experience to our customers.
