Portrait of Travis Rea

I design product direction—then build it with AI to prove it.

Not a handoff-only designer. I helped spin up Ayin’s AI Accelerator Team as one of two founding members—framing hard healthcare problems, designing systems and workflows, and using Claude Code and GenAI to ship working prototypes that validate strategy, then enabling others to do the same. Eight years of enterprise UX; open to Boise, Bend (onsite or hybrid), and remote.

About

Designer who ships. Builder who designs.

I’m Travis—based in Central Oregon, targeting roles where product design meets real AI tooling: agentic platforms, GenAI product surfaces, and teams that need someone who can build with Claude Code while still owning craft, research, and systems.

Most of my career has been in healthcare operations software: dense data, multi-tenant rules, and partners who feel every broken form in their SLA metrics. That background transfers cleanly to enterprise AI products—where ambiguity is high and trust is the product.

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