About Melissa Aure

Product Design Lead at Lion Interactive

👋 Hello! A little about myself:

I'm currently a Product Design Lead at 🦁 Lion Interactive where I'm consulting on UX strategy and designing for several B2B/B2C scaling startups and enterprise clients. Previously, I've designed brand identities and digital products for 20+ B2B and B2C small to mid-sized businesses across industries like Finance, Lifestyle, Education, Entertainment, and more. Some of recent accomplishments:

• Designed tutoring features for an EdTech web app that contributed to the signing of a $1M+ contract deal • Co-designed the brand identity and improved the UX and UI of a B2C auto mobile app that secured $14.5M in Series A funding

When I'm not solving design problems at work, I'm running ⚡ Team GSD as a co-founder, where we have run several 3-month live cohort-based programs with our custom curriculum that helped 30+ members either land their first role in UX or transition up the career ladder.

✌️ I hope to be an accessible resource that provides advice and mentorship to accelerate your career! As a mentor, I can't wait to give back and hope to empower and enable you, especially if you identify as historically marginalized, by helping you break into UX and even identify as or grow into a leader. I can't wait to meet you! ✨
