Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Johannesen is a startup-focused product designer blending 11 years of experience in product and AI design with a Computer Science & Design degree from Cal Poly. He’s led product from first principles as Treet’s founding product designer, inventing a branded-resale category and scaling the company from a 5-person WeWork to market leadership. Jacob applies that operator mindset to AI-infused product work—most recently helping healthcare organizations make smarter vendor decisions at Elion and previously advising on an AI communication coach at Yoodli. He has a strong track record of shipping new product categories and design systems across consumer and enterprise products, and has founded a consumer app studio with an Editor’s Choice App Store hit. Based in San Francisco, he combines hands-on design craft with strategic collaboration across C-suite and engineering teams to turn ambiguous problems into differentiated, scalable products. An uncommon strength: he marries technical fluency with creative product intuition, so design decisions are both beautiful and buildable.
