About Taliya Salomon — product designer for AI-native products

• Own product design end-to-end for three AI agents (Maggie, Grant, Donna): research and strategy through information architecture, flows, interaction models, edge cases, and production UI.

• Ship my own UI to production: merged hundreds of merge requests since May 2026 across 600+ files in a Next.js and Tailwind codebase, reviewed by the frontend architect and released through GitLab CI.

• Built the design system from zero and implemented it in code: token-based color system mirrored between Figma variables and Tailwind, component library documented in Storybook, and redline spec sheets engineers build from.

• Ground decisions in product data: analyzed the Maggie redesign rollout in PostHog (layout shift, rage clicks, retention) and use feature flags to test changes with real users in production.

• Research before designing: competitive pattern sweeps across 18+ tools per feature, turned into playable prototypes and Figma changelogs the team builds from.

• AI-native workflow: Claude Code, Cursor, and Figma MCP daily to prototype, QA, and implement, with a written design-rules layer the agents follow so output stays on-system.

• Designed an AI-driven security platform from concept to production specs: turned dense, AI-generated threat and risk data into views that security teams and business users could act on without a briefing.

• Set the interaction standards and visual language for a domain with no design precedent in the company, working daily with PMs and engineers on implementation.

• Owned brand and marketing design alongside product: icons, illustration, and micro-animation that gave the product a credible identity in a crowded market.

• Delivered 10+ client projects, designing everything from brand identities to end-to-end digital products across B2B and consumer industries. Led each project from discovery and early concepts through research, UX/UI, visual systems, and production, translating diverse business needs into cohesive, scalable design solutions.

• Developed original design solutions from first principles for clients, including Maia Digital, Zipper-app, INDO Innovate IL, and others, demonstrating the ability to create in undefined spaces without an existing design language to reference.

• Contributed to visual identity: led micro-animation execution for a major MAX credit card campaign, delivering production-ready motion assets for web and mobile that supported cross-domain design needs.

• Led hands-on design from initial sketches to final visual identity and digital products, developing a cohesive design language across platforms in close collaboration with funders.

• Recruited and coordinated volunteer designers across projects, aligning creative support with each nonprofit client’s needs and goals.

• Organized design enrichment sessions, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and creative growth across the team.
