Lead Designer @ Rivian

About

I’m a digital product designer with 16+years of experience, specializing in UX, motion, and multi-device experiences. My work bridges hardware and software—designing for electronic vehicle, headsets, cameras, wearables, and companion apps while focusing on clarity and seamless interactions.At Rivian, Cisco and Samsung, I’ve led end-to-end design for enterprise, consumer products, collaborating across hardware, software, and research teams to launch thoughtful, scalable solutions. I thrive on solving complex problems through user-centered design and clear communication with cross-functional partners.Recently, I’ve been expanding knowledge in AI-driven methods to accelerate design, boosting creativity, streamlining prototyping, and turning ideas into interactive products and experiences faster.I believe great design should feel simple, intuitive, and even a little delightful.👉 Learn more at https://sam-jang.com👉 AI Playground https://samjang.net👉 Bubble Index https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bubble-index/id6745993441
