About Kowsik

Senior Product Designer working on AI, data, and enterprise SaaS.

I am a Senior Product Designer with more than 12 years shaping complex B2B SaaS across marketing technology, enterprise data infrastructure, and AI platforms. I am currently at TapClicks.

I am exploring Lead and Staff Product Design roles where I can remain close to the work: framing difficult product questions, shaping systems, and raising delivery quality with product and engineering partners.

Executive Reference & Q&A

Direct answers for teams and product leaders.

Key information on design focus, enterprise scope, and engineering collaboration.

01 · AI Product Architecture

How do you design for AI trust and verification?

I treat AI output as an explicit state machine: generated responses begin as unreviewed drafts inside a contextual side panel. Users retain inline editing control, and insights must pass Human Verification before entering executive reports, ensuring required human review and establishing clear verification boundaries for AI-generated claims.

02 · Enterprise Complexity

How do you resolve dense enterprise data constraints?

By designing for the real maximum rather than clean toy examples. My case studies demonstrate workflows tested against 10 to 40 advertising data connectors, 100+ mapped fields, and 3-tier role permissions (Administrator, Manager, Viewer) that reveal rules at the point of decision.

03 · Design & Engineering Delivery

How do you partner with engineering teams?

With a background spanning UI/UX and UX Engineering (B.E. in Information Technology), I bridge design systems, state models, and frontend delivery across Angular, Vue, and React. I provide edge-case specifications, interactive prototypes, and tokenized system governance.

While I have managed engineering including UI development for quite a while, I had never worked with a "real" UX person until Kowsik and his team joined mine. Over the years that followed, I learned a great deal from him through the thoughtful, holistic approach he brings to understanding a user process and synthesizing it into improvements in our products.

T.W. CookTechnology Leader & Team Builder · Perifery / DataCoreManaged Kowsik directly

From my first day working with Kowsik, his incredible talent has been evident. Not only has he showed creativity and a willingness to learn about new products, but also a maturity in presenting his ideas, seeking feedback, and working with other UX personnel. He gently helped fill in gaps in my understanding of UX process, and has been a joy to collaborate with.

Brian GuetzlaffPrincipal Software Development Engineer · Perifery (DataCore Software)Managed Kowsik directly

Kowsik is one designer I never had to follow up with. He always delivered work on or before deadline and never fails to add amazing inputs to the designs. Well aware of iOS and Android, he recommends Do's and Don'ts even at the wireframe level. Brilliant sense of layouts and colors, and very co-operative to work with.
