OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
As the founding UI/UX designer, shipped Ark's Bioprocess Copilot, an AI-powered B2B SaaS product that simulates bioprocess experiments for top 20 pharma clientele, by leading the product design process from concept to execution.
Conducted weekly user interviews with both customers and in-house scientists to iterate and refine simulation workflows.
Ensured UI design consistency by managing and styling React components directly in the frontend and creating a custom UI library.
Supported go-to-market brand efforts by designing and shipping the company website from scratch, shaping brand identity, and creating marketing collateral including pitch decks, motion graphics, and social media assets.

Scale
Transitioning between small-scale experiments and large-scale production introduces significant risk, as process conditions may not translate directly, leading to costly delays, wasted materials, or failed runs.

How might we enable first-time-right scale-up/down so scientists can reduce uncertainty, minimize rework, and achieve more reliable biomanufacturing outcomes?

Optimization
In bioprocess development, scientists often sacrifice optimization for speed, resulting in suboptimal conditions that either compromise yield and quality or prolong development cycles, ultimately limiting profitability and throughput.

How might we help scientists identify multiple viable recipes that produce similar results, so they can optimize for the best option without sacrificing development speed?
