Fru Funtek · Senior Product Designer
With 7 years of experience, I lead end-to-end product design with intention and care, working with customers, product, and engineering to turn ambiguous problems into products people can trust.
I designed Smart Assist, a chat-based search layer for Diligent Boards that lets board members and admins ask questions of their materials in plain language, and get answers grounded in citations they can verify.
I rebuilt Diligent Boards’ keyword search into a global, semantic experience, so governance professionals can find critical information across hundreds of board materials and years of meeting cycles.
I led the design of three interconnected data-room capabilities: a legal access gate, room-wide update notifications, and concealed participant identities. Together they helped Diligent close a confidential enterprise deal and gave Sales a standalone VDR offering to take to market.
