Jeremy Miller : Product Designer About Me My Process Highlights Resume Portfolio Get in Touch Jeremy Miller Product Designer Howdy My name is Jeremy. I design things. peep my process About Me You cant build great software without great relationships. 20+ years designing and leading. Dad • Author • Podcast host • Player • Coach Still learning Hungarian. See my work Hear the podcast $629M Marketplace revenue supported by the buyer experience my team owns 81K Active buyers on the platform we design for 20+ Years designing & leading product teams 3 mo. From Figma-first to shipping production code with AI Ive been designing software since the early 2000s. Ive been leading the teams that build it for the last several years. For most of my career, Ive been designing high stakes software for people like MRO technicians, aerospace engineers at places like Delta, FedEx, and more. Theyre working in high-stakes environments where bad UX can cost them Big time. These days, Im as focused on growing my design team as I am on the work itself. Building the conditions for great design to happen, like the team culture, stakeholder trust, and seamless cohesion between design and engineering. Thats the job. Were using new AI tools to move faster. But the human parts of the job arent going anywhere. Thats the part I wrote a book about. Jeremy is a lot more than an outstanding UX artist, he truly has this magical capability to create digital experiences that re-imagine how people work. Everywhere Jeremy goes, he has a huge impact on the business outcome. He is capable of learning the domain, has a genuine interest in helping End Users with improving their day, and immerses himself in his work with a passion and professionalism that is infectious. I will always learn from, aspire to become, and forever call upon for my toughest UX challenges. Magnus Akesson CIO & VP GE Power Manufacturing Division My Process Three months ago, my team opened Figma. Now were shipping code in Cursor. The process is being rewritten in real time. That doesnt mean process doesnt matter. It means the parts that are human matter more than ever. Heres how I think about the work, and where things stand right now. 01 Understand The real problem is almost never the stated one. I get into the environment. I watch people work and take it all in before trying to fix it. A prompt cant observe a technician squinting at a screen in the middle of the third shift. 02 Analyze Data without synthesis is just noise. AI is useful for pattern recognition across large research sets, but Ive watched it hallucinate themes that werent there. Verification against raw data is non-negotiable. 03 Design My team shifted from Figma to shipping code in Cursor. We move faster and explore more directions. Were still working on figuring out what we lose in this new normal. 04 Validate We are not our users. No amount of synthetic feedback changes that. Real users in real contexts will always surface things we didnt anticipate. 05 Learn The best teams treat failure like data, not embarrassment. Our job is to stay curious enough to use that learning, and humble enough to admit when we were wrong. That gets harder the more senior you get.
