Jason Cozy
@jasoncozy
Senior Product Designer and AI implementation leader building human-AI UX workflows.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Designer and AI implementation leader with 10+ years of UX experience, focused on pioneering AI-powered design workflows and process improvements that make teams faster and products clearer. I align corporate strategies with technology advancements to deliver LLM-powered user experiences grounded in user-centered design and collaborative storytelling.
In recent roles, I’ve led end-to-end UX and implementation—architecting and shipping full-featured apps, designing custom AI prompt systems and generation pipelines, and using AI to cut design-to-prototype time by 40%. I also scaled AI adoption from 0-80% of employees through systematic knowledge sharing and built enterprise-grade platforms (including a Nova Grant Management Platform) through discovery, compliance architecture, and executive collaboration.
