For the last 10 years, I've worked taking 0-day/incubation products to market, focused on new technology, core features, interaction design, branding, and design systems. For the last 3 years, I've been wearing many hats taking a Conversational AI at Microsoft. I've built meaningful experiences with Artefact Group, made sense of government data for USAFacts, designed LuminOS and Apps for MagicLeap, and worked on how we will use augmented reality in the future. I helped Microsoft OneNote launch on Surface/tablets focusing on inking and education and helped the visually impaired community use new technology to play football and navigate the cityscape. 

I love to talk about design and can be found on either LinkedIn or Twitter, or go old-school and hit me up on hello@andreaskleiner.com

About

ABOUT

I am a Swedish Design Director living in Washington State, USA. Optimistic by nature, world traveler and nomad, music+podcast junkie, scuba diver, history/future nerd, design mentor and lecturer, and proud girl dad. 

17 years ago I began my design journey designing websites in Flash and working in advertising and branding. Since then I have led teams and designed products for start-ups, Fortune 500 companies, agencies, small businesses, and individuals. My passion is building meaningful and simple solutions and packaging them in a system. I have worked in a with research->product or 0-day incubation to market products, as well as merging already established products, and creating new product suites.

When I don't work for $ I like to solve societal wicked problems, and think about the future of ethics and governance in AI/ML, and I also work with NGOs and mentor design students. 

I believe we should all try and leave this world a little better than we found it.
