About Me

Max Miner

I’m a player/coach product and design leader, entrepreneur and artist with 15+ years of experience designing for Fortune 500 companies and startups, including 10+ years leading product, design, and engineering teams.

Currently, I lead the Product Lab at Invisible Technologies. We’re a small studio team focused on AI-accelerated 0-to-1 discovery and development, including AI automations, rapid prototyping, design systems, and MVP experiences.

Previously, I served as Executive Director of Product and Design at SkillsEngine, an AI-driven workforce analytics startup; co-founded BEACON, a data privacy startup; and held design and strategy leadership roles at 72andSunny, RED Interactive (acquired), and R/GA, where I helped establish Google’s first embedded creative consulting team.

I hold a Masters Certificate (emphasis UX & Digital Production) from Boulder Digital Works, and a BA in Philosophy — both from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

When I’m not immersed in work, you can find me creating software and/or art, hitting the slopes to snowboard, and spending time with my family and friends.
