I was the founding product designer and first full-time hire. The product design role spanned many responsibilities, from product leadership (leading product signal meetings, facilitating design-thinking workshops) to marketing and growth (developing an external-facing website, exploring and implementing product-led growth opportunities, planning conference content and swag) to, of course, UX/UI design (end-to-end discovery, persona development, wireframing, and high-fidelity pixel pushing). It's been a lot of work and a lot of hats, but the impact and growth I've experienced through this is what makes startups fulfilling!
