Founding Designer at Rox
United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Issen is a founder and product-focused designer with nine years of experience building education and productivity tools that help professionals adapt to fast-changing tech. He co-founded Side School to teach practical AI skills to thousands of adult learners and previously ran Supercreative, an app incubator that taught him rapid experimentation—six apps were acquired and nine failed. As Founding Designer at Rox he blends hands-on design, product strategy, and curriculum development, informed by teaching experience at Esade and a technical foundation from 42 Paris. Comfortable at the intersection of design, education, and engineering, he intentionally ships imperfect bets to learn quickly and iterate. Not your typical designer, he treats product experiments as mini startups, using acquisition and failure alike as deliberate learning signals.
