Deepgram brain

Head of Product,
Previously Product Design Lead

Deepgram's speech recognition challenges the likes of Google Speech API and IBM Watson with superior speed and accuracy powered by end-to-end deep learning.

In a time when speech recognition is far from solved, our challenge is to introduce commercial and personal-use users to our speech-to-text with an intuitive interface that provides greater value than offerings from existing speech solutions.

As the team's only product designer, I worked with engineers to take brain from a rough mockup to a shipped product with thousands of users. To make this possible, I designed interfaces and user flows for uploading audio files and editing transcripts, pushed code, and created marketing assets and copy for press outreach.

As Head of Product, I oversee agile development that optimizes and grows product offerings as well as create marketing content for broader company growth.

Since brain's launch in October 2017, we've shipped updates that include:

• A completely redesigned set of landing pages to optimize traffic and clarify messaging
• A new human transcription product to retain users that require greater than 95% accuracy
• Converting the platform from completely free to a pay-as-you-go model
