I’m Parker Kuncl
a product design executive shaping how humans and intelligent systems create together. Formerly at Salesforce, Oracle, Uber, PayPal, and Samsung.
Currently advising startups and exploring executive design leadership roles where design drives company vision, not just product polish.
I’m a design executive and inventor with 23+ years of experience building and leading teams across AI, robotics, and enterprise SaaS. My work has shaped products used by hundreds of millions — from the birth of Samsung Pay to next-gen AI interfaces at Salesforce and Oracle.
I’ve built and scaled design orgs, frameworks, and systems that turn emerging technology into human-centered experiences — guiding cross-functional teams across design, product, and engineering toward a shared vision.
I’m most energized at the intersection of AI, robotics, and user experience, where design helps technology feel alive, useful, and trustworthy.
I live in Seattle with my English Setter, Aspen. Outside of work, you’ll find me sailing, exploring wine regions, or building the future of autonomous flight.
