Portrait of Łukasz Roth

I’m a product designer and researcher with 17+ years of experience across startups and enterprises, from public-sector platforms used by millions to a certified avalanche airbag vest. I’m currently at Fluxon, supporting Google.

I start with research (interviews, ethnography, usability testing), then run workshops that turn findings into decisions stakeholders agree on, and carry the work through prototyping, roadmap and backlog to delivery with engineering teams. I’ve worked in SaaS, finance, healthcare, education, insurance and telecom, and have taught UX at SWPS University.

Experience

  1. 2025.10 - Currently

    Google (via Fluxon), Remote (USA)

    Senior Product Designer · Extended Workforce

    • Supporting Google teams on internal tools: user research, stakeholder interviews and workshops, product strategy, prioritized recommendations and prototyping.
    • Using AI coding tools to build working prototypes early, with custom interfaces on production data (handled securely, in local environments), so ideas can be presented and tested before teams commit to building them.

    Fluxon, Remote (USA)

    Senior Product Designer

    • Supporting Google engagements and Fluxon’s internal initiatives.
    • Project kickoff standardization: Lead product designer and researcher on a dedicated team that made client kickoffs more focused and consistent. Started with interviews with key stakeholders, then ran a series of workshops with product managers, technical product managers, designers and developers. Turned the results into internal documentation and a presentation for the whole company. The new process improves client rapport, team coordination, and understanding of client goals and needs from day one.
