Linda
Brown
Principal UX Designer drawn to complex, evolving problem spaces — especially where AI changes how people work. I connect model behaviour, business realities, and human needs into coherent, end-to-end experiences that help teams make confident product decisions.
AI & Agentic UX
Designing human-in-the-loop systems, LLM interfaces, and agentic workflows that keep people in control — not just in the loop.
Systems Design
End-to-end workflow mapping across product lines, identifying cross-silo opportunities, and building design systems that scale.
Design Leadership
Mentoring designers, elevating critique culture, and translating ambiguity into clear narratives and prototypes that drive aligned decisions.
Rapid Prototyping
From Figma to working code — Python, Streamlit, React, and Tailwind. Prototyping at the fidelity the question demands, as fast as possible.
Principal Product Designer
Imagine LearningLead AI incubation and systems-level UX strategy across enterprise education platforms with executive visibility. Prototype future-facing workflows in Figma and code (Python, Streamlit, React) to validate direction before engineering investment. Present AI-driven explorations to senior leadership, directly influencing product strategy. Results: +30% engagement, +10% student outcomes, reduced production costs via AI automation, WCAG-compliant systems.
User Experience Manager
Learning.comLed multi-disciplinary UX initiatives and coached a team of designers. Defined UX strategy and research frameworks that improved engagement by 30% and shaped cross-functional product direction.
User Experience Architect
Learning.comOwned UX strategy across product lines and built the enterprise design system from the ground up. Facilitated design thinking workshops exploring future product opportunities. Increased renewals and reduced production costs through systemic improvements.
Adjunct Instructor
College — Media Production & Front-End DesignTaught media production and front-end design at the college level. Developed curriculum, mentored students through technical and creative challenges, and refined an ability to translate complex concepts into clear, actionable lessons.
BA, Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts
University of California, San DiegoStudied at the intersection of technology and creative practice — the foundation for a career that never separates design thinking from technical understanding.
Ambiguity is
an invitation,
not a blocker.
I translate ambiguity into clear narratives, artifacts, and prototypes — the kind that get people aligned quickly and give engineering the confidence to build. Whether it’s an AI incubation sprint or a multi-year platform redesign, I show up with a point of view, a working prototype, and the ability to defend both in the room with executives.
Six years teaching sharpened something that most designers don’t get from product work alone: the ability to make the complex feel obvious to anyone in the room.
