Portrait of Travis Rea

I design complex healthcare software and ship working prototypes, not slide decks.

Principal Product Designer at Ayin. Founding member of the AI Accelerator Team. Eight years on multi-tenant plan and provider products: claims, authorizations, care management, and now agent-assisted ops. I use Figma and code (including Claude Code) so ideas get tested in real UI before the org commits to them. Based in Sisters, OR. Open to Boise, Bend, or remote.

About

I’m Travis. I live in Central Oregon and I'm looking for roles where product design meets real AI tooling: agentic workflows, GenAI surfaces, and teams that want someone who can own the craft and also ship a working prototype.

Most of my career is healthcare operations software, where the data is dense, the multi-tenant rules are unforgiving, and partners feel every broken form in their SLA numbers. That experience maps directly to enterprise AI, where trust is what you're really shipping.

Education: Associate of Computer Science, Web Design & Interactive Media, The Art Institute of Pittsburgh (3.87 GPA, Dean’s List).

Let’s talk about the role

Open to Boise and Bend (onsite or hybrid), fully remote, and AI product / design engineer roles.
