Portrait of Dave Knight

I'm a leader in product design who has been crafting products with a user-centered approach for over 20 years. I've led design across a range of domains, including wearables, travel, fintech, and home.

I love applying rapid feedback loops to create easy-to-use and elegant product experiences. My contributions often focus on design exploration, grounding decisions in research, and bringing solutions to life. As a hands-on leader, I thrive when I'm close to the craft: helping scale product strategy and championing build-first approaches.

My interests go deeper than making an interface look good. Every decision matters. I care about how products earn trust, how teams make decisions together, and how small details add up to experiences people actually enjoy using and fuel the business.

Lately I've been focused on bringing AI-assisted prototyping into the design process so ideas can reach high fidelity faster.

I live and work in San Francisco with my family. We love spending our free time exploring all the city has to offer: hikes in Golden Gate Park, biking to the Presidio, or riding the bus to take in shows or sporting events.
