Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichelle Kang is a staff product designer with 11 years of experience building human-centered digital products across government, health, and education, currently leading design at Skylight to improve public health data access for the CDC. She has a strong track record of shipping 0→1 products and aligning cross-functional teams—work that helped win a $250M federal contract and drove measurable gains like increased onboarding ease and conversion for multiple ventures. As a founding designer at early-stage startups she shaped product strategy, brand, and engineering processes, and at Pivotal and CZI she coached teams in agile, user-centered practices. Lately she’s exploring aging tech and AI for emotional wellness, piloting beginner-friendly AI workshops for older adults and creating Kickstart Retirement, a card deck that blends design with caregiving and purpose. Her background in human biology from Stanford and early clinic leadership informs a pragmatic, empathetic approach to designing for dignity and belonging.
