Miki is a Director of Product Design in San Francisco with over 15 years of experience across consumer and B2B SaaS.

Miki has led design for leading brands such as Lattice (people & talent management), Samsara (IoT for logistics), Facebook (social impact), Twitter (platform, growth and identity), and Evernote (personal productivity).

Lattice

2022 – Current

Lattice develops hr software for people operations and talent management. My team of up to 10 designers and design managers worked on products to facilitate performance assessment, skills development, and manager effectiveness—for individual contributors, line managers, managers of managers to department heads. I also led the exploration of new products in productivity and AI.

Samsara

2019 – 2022

Samsara is a platform that captures IoT data for companies to run their physical operations with increased safety, efficiency, and sustainability. I led teams of designers that worked on products for AI safety programs, equipment tracking, maintenance, and driver workflows.

Facebook (Meta)

2016–2019

Facebook, now known as Meta, is the worlds largest social network. I worked on several products to drive social impact in civic engagement, financial inclusion and philanthropy.

Twitter (X)

2014–2016

Twitter, now known as X, is the most talked about social network. I joined Twitter’s platform team with deep Android design expertise. I defined patterns and components to support a design team at scale (nearing 100 designers). Next, I led design for international growth initiatives in India, such as carrier partnerships, low-bandwidth experiences, and a new sports product for the Cricket World Cup. I concluded my time at Twitter working on Identity and Profiles, deeply understanding and crafting how people want to portray and express themselves.

Evernote

2014–2016

Evernote is a note-taking app that pioneered personal productivity. At the time, it consistently was best-in class on all available platforms (desktop, iOS, Android, Windows Phone). I designed every feature in the Android App, which included the core note taking experience, rich-text editing, handwriting, reminders and a marketplace for integrated gear.

I live in Marin County, just north of San Francisco, with my wife Gopika, 6-month old Sabya, mini goldendoodle Berkeley and two tabby cats, Cali and Raspy.

I’m currently brushing up on code through learning Python, diving deep into health & fitness metrics, and reading about sci-fi, economics, and local issues.
