Louie Sakoda · Senior Product Designer

SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER · AI & COMPLEX WORKFLOWS

I shape AI products around the decisions people need to make, from learning tools at CK-12 to building Offboard end to end.

Offboard

Building a career-transition product around the next useful step

One workspace for a role, with research and drafts that stay connected. Automation does the repeated work; the person decides what goes out.
