The Challenge
The design team was growing linearly while demands grew exponentially. Each new client required dedicated interaction designer capacity, making the unit economics unsustainable. The cost per deliverable was climbing quarter over quarter with no ceiling in sight.
"After struggling to hire a mid Interaction Designer, the team automated microinteraction design, gesture mapping, animation specifications with Gemini Pro, achieving better throughput at a fraction of the cost."
