Ramel Robinson

About

Hello! My name is Ramel Robinson and I'm a Senior Product Designer from New York. I'm commonly sought out by Startup Founders in tech due to my knowledge and experience with product strategy. I primarily work with Product Managers and Development Teams at early stage tech startups, creating innovative b2c solutions. Within my workflow, I am at my most comfortable when rapidly prototyping user interfaces for user testing and data acquisition. I love to work on web, desktop and mobile applications, and as of 2023 I will be expanding my skill set into designing for AI/ML powered solutions.
