Melvin Joshy

I’m a founding-level product designer with 3 years of experience shipping AI-native products, solo. I’ve designed and built 5 products end-to-end across enterprise, consumer, and transit tech, with a bias toward clear problem framing and high-fidelity execution.

At Tempo (YC S23), I’m the sole designer embedded with client companies—owning every design decision from blank canvas to shipped product across 5 live products. I built 3 products from zero (problem framing, user research, design systems, UI, and engineering handoff) and added significant new features to 2 more while working directly with founders and engineers in fast-moving startup environments. I also built scalable Figma design systems per product to keep small engineering teams shipping consistently without design bottlenecks.

I’ve developed an AI-native design workflow using Claude and Cursor, iterating at a speed and fidelity not possible with traditional tooling. Earlier roles included a full website redesign in Framer at Nesture (25% increase in user engagement, 15% reduction in bounce rate, 40% improvement in mobile satisfaction) and building the first learn-by-building platform at Exp Club with role-based interfaces and a reusable Figma design system. I also hold the “Enterprise Design Thinking Practitioner” certification (IBM).
