Kyleigh SmithWorkAboutResume2024–2026

I design AI and data products, from discovery to business outcomes.

Currently owning all design end-to-end at Quotient, a data insights and recommendation platform for engineering teams in the AI era.

What kind of designer I am

  • I care about the difference between gray/50 and gray/100 as much as how a feature will get engagement and impact the business.
  • I know my way around Amplitude as well as Figma.
  • I talk to users directly, even when they’re CTOs at companies like Abridge and Rho.
  • I check how my designs look in code before hand-off, and open PRs myself to fix a font style.
  • I can PM my own projects end to end (and love hybrid roles).

A little about me

  • From the Midwest, now in San Francisco
  • B.S. in Cognitive Science, Computing Specialization, from UCLA
  • 10+ years in research, design and product at early-stage startups
  • Built Harold, a quirky grandpa who texts you every day to check in on your habits (and won a $5k Product Hunt Maker Grant for it)
  • Ranked Gold 2 in Halo
  • Always racing my mom to finish the NYT Crossword first
