I'm Caitlin Sowers – a product designer for fast-paced startups. I specialize in quickly distilling complexity into intuitive UI, fostering collaboration that aligns teams and drives business impact.

Salt AI – Simplifying AI development with a visual platform

As the solo designer at a B2C startup, I collaborated closely with our VP of Product and engineering team to craft an experience for building AI workflows. Together we launched a powerful tool from the ground up to allow users to build and deploy AI workflows, helping leadership to secure a second round of funding.

GoChip B2B – Improving animal welfare with a redesigned tracking app for nonprofits

Our team worked together to revamp GoChip's B2B app, which serves NGOs and non-profits in tracking stray animals internationally. We improved both the design and usability of their existing application. My focus was to make the app more intuitive and efficient for on-the-ground animal tracking and management.

GoChip B2C – Connecting pets and owners with smart devices and a mobile app

Tasked with an initially undefined concept, I led the product positioning of a companion mobile app to a hardware pet collar. We transformed initial concepts into detailed wireframes, laying the groundwork for an app that would connect pets with their owners. Although the company shifted focus to their B2B work before completion, our work established a strong foundation for their venture into the B2C space.

Edvo – Helping users achieve flow state faster with a browser extension and app

As the founding designer at an early stage B2C startup, we launched a digital product from 0 to 1 to help users “learn better”, which won stronger market positioning by pivoting to help users “enter flow state faster”, an insight driven by my work and testing.
