Joe Saavedra
I’m Joe Saavedra, a hands-on AI product and UX systems designer based in Brooklyn. Since 2010, I’ve turned ambiguous product questions into shipped systems across hardware, software, and AI.
At Infinite Objects, I created a patented no-interface Video Print experience, built and mentored product and engineering teams inside a 35-person cross-functional company, and helped scale the product to 200K+ units across 90+ countries.
Current focus
My current work focuses on agent experience, conversational analytics, and ambient AI—especially the interaction, trust, and evaluation decisions that make complex systems usable.
I’m most useful as a senior IC when a team needs someone who can frame the system, prototype the hard parts, align product, design, and engineering, and carry a decision through measurable launch.
Background and teaching
I hold BA degrees in Music Composition and Technocultural Studies from UC Davis, and an MFA in Design and Technology from Parsons School of Design, where I taught creative engineering as an Assistant Professor.
I live in Brooklyn, and my family is from Lima, Peru.
A personal note
The letter “e” is a single dot in Morse code—and there is exactly one “e” in Joseph.
