About Stefanie McLaren

Senior Product Designer at Self-employed

Hey there! 👋🏻 I'm Stef, a curious, data-driven Product Designer with over a decade of improving consumer-facing experiences (as well as some B2B products, internal tools, and more). From Fortune 500 companies to Bay Area startups, I've collaborated with amazing teams to make meaningful impact. ‍ Currently contracted with Grammarly as a Senior Product Designer focused on Growth. Previously, improved growth and engagement for HealthTech startups. I love sharing tips and feedback with fellow designers to help them grow and land new gigs.
