Paige Sáez

Principal product designer based in Oakland, CA, who is passionate about mixed-methods research and has a deep foundation in human-centered design.

With extensive experience dating all the way back to 2006 😮, I bring a thoughtful, multidisciplinary approach to crafting impactful products and services. I'm also a studio artist and bicycle mechanic. In 2007, I co-founded Makerlab, a creative studio and design-build collective, and in 2025, I began teaching design research at California College of the Arts.

Now

Teaching user research—traditional and AI/ML methods—to future designers at California College of the Arts.

Before

Designing solar-powered solutions for home and business owners at Aurora Solar.

Over the last decade

Principal Product Designer at All Turtles, where I led design across AI and health startups including Spot, Carrot Fertility, Replika, and Surfboard. I partnered with founders and cross-functional teams to shape product strategy, conduct user research, and turn complex AI systems into intuitive, human-centered tools. My work spanned early-stage prototyping through launch, often defining design systems from scratch. Each product tackled meaningful challenges—from mental health to workplace equity to global fertility care.
