Tate Bruckner

• Own design end to end for two enterprise product teams, each with a product owner and 5–7 engineers, setting design direction and tradeoffs for complex logistics workflows.
• Rebuilt Saved Views to help 500+ users move off a legacy system. Usage went from about 30 saved searches ever to 1,500+ saved views in 6 weeks (50x). I presented the case to senior leadership, and it became a shared component used in 3 apps (2,600+ views).
• Led design for moving the central operations team off the mainframe: exception approvals and order messages, two time-sensitive workflows shaped by one research effort. Both launched, measured on revenue protected and response time.
• Brought AI prototyping to the UX team: set up a shared code repository with our software engineering director, trained every designer, and built the team dashboard where everyone publishes their work. The team now prototypes this way on every project.
• Led 15 training sessions and 2 webinars for 500+ users during the platform migration, and sit on the UX team's interview panel for new designers.
• Build and maintain Airtable and Retool apps that automate UX operations and business workflows across departments.
