Summary
I am a Senior Product Designer at a large tech company, leading the Video Gen AI and Growth programs. This talk is a case study about leveraging AI tools to scale and systematize your design process. Some examples include creating better and more thorough user journey lists that capture all types of users, reducing the risk of excluding some users. I will also talk about how to have a Systems Design mindset about UX programs, including how to scale your work across teams and organizations for broader impact.
