Julian Murphy
I design AI-first products that turn complex data and workflows into clear, trustworthy experiences teams can ship with confidence.
About
“I partner with teams to design AI-first experiences that feel human, handle complexity, and move the metrics that matter.”

I’m a senior product designer and AI-first design partner focused on complex, data-heavy products. Over 16+ years I’ve helped teams at Microsoft, Amazon, and others turn “let’s add AI” into clear strategies, prototypes, and shipped features. I work at the intersection of UX, data, and engineering, fluent in design systems, variables, tokens, and enough code to “speak dev,” so what we ship is both beautiful and buildable.

Why customers trust me

I’ve partnered with many designers, but Julian stands out for his rare mix of product sense, program thinking, and calm under pressure. When he joins a project, both outcomes and collaboration level up, and the team moves forward with much more confidence.
