Staff Product Designer

B2B SaaS · AI search & developer tooling · Remote

• Led design of AskAI, Algolia's agentic search product inside DocSearch. Reframed the launch from speed-to-ship to adoption risk, leading to a guided in-product setup. In the first 30 days, 86 users completed the guided setup, which was 26.7% of the people who started it. There were zero configuration-related support tickets. Pattern later reused in Agent Studio.
• Defined Algolia's approach to agentic UX across design patterns, guardrails, and interaction models for LLM-driven experiences.
• Led research and design on platform onboarding across eight product areas, presenting findings to the CPO and CTO. Surfaced three platform-wide patterns that product teams are now implementing.
• Stay hands on in Figma daily, partner with PM and engineering leads on scope and direction.

• Unified three separate tools into a single product surface.

Lead Product Designer

B2B SaaS · Supply chain visibility · London / Remote

• Directed design on the core supply chain visibility platform, reframing the data model around cargo rather than shipments. Took the first steps toward the digital twin the CPO set as the company's north star.
• Set the product's trust principle: data confidence over apparent visibility. Distinguished what is confirmed, expected, and uncertain so users could act without false certainty in a high-consequence environment.
• Managed a team of three designers and introduced a cross-team review mechanism for shared product surfaces.
• Ran research, journey mapping, and stakeholder alignment across PM, engineering, and domain experts.
