Senior Product Designer @Deel

Joined April 2022
We've gotten so used to having a stack of SaaS to manage different flows, that is has become the new norm. Instead having the whole employee lifecyle in one tool is a gamechanger and allows you to focus on the more important stuff.
How much of your People team's time actually goes to people? SelectRow brought HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance into one place with @deel's PEO, so their team can focus on employees and clients.

I have been using Sonnet 5 for most of my prototyping work, since it gave me a nice balance of token spend and output. Curious to try Sonnet 5.5, new month = new tokens! 🎉
Introducing Claude Sonnet 5.5, the second model in the Claude 5.5 family. It’s a clear upgrade over Sonnet 5, runs more than 30% faster, and costs up to 30% less for most work.

Day 2 of #ShiftUX: Abby Covert asked "How can we shape our tools?" Figma beat Sketch through collaboration. Now AI has us all yapping solo to a buddy that always agrees. Tools won't set us up to collaborate, so we have to. Can every sprint be a hackathon? 🤝

It always great to hear directly from our customers!
Payroll here. HRIS there. An accountant on call. That was @cryptio_co's old HR stack. Deel replaced it with one system. Their VP of People calls it "a world of difference."

Reflecting on day 1 from Shift UX conference and it's clear: our job is to stay human-centered while technology pushes us the other way. Research matters. Showing up matters. And we can't do it alone. Things are changing for everyone, so lets support each other. #ShiftUX2026

I love @Neko ! Got my third checkup scheduled in October, can't wait to compare the data year to year in their app. 10000% yes to have this in the employee stack to stay on top of your health! @deel for payroll & benefits is no-brainer of course!

Attended Shift UX (@RosenfeldMedia's 1st UX conf) last week. Best part: they paused the program for group sensemaking panels. It helped to unpack what we'd just learned, together. Forces you to think, not just absorb. More conferences need this! #uxconference #shiftux2026

Deel just launched @get_akai Builds automations by watching your screen, no dev needed, plugs into legacy systems easily. Favorite part: Insights. One tab shows what needs a look and what's quietly working, org-wide. Saved us 90k+ hours. Book a demo: akai.run

Pretty mind blowing numbers thanks to Akai, I love how this was not even intended as an external product initially. But our problems are not unique, every company has manual processes that can benefit from this easy automation solution ✨
EXCITED TO LAUNCH: Akai (akai.run) Deel added >$140M ARR in 90 days without increasing headcount by automating~600 Full Time Employees' equivalent in work with Akai. Akai was an internal tool to automate our painfully repetitive operations in Finance, HR, Accounts Payable, and Compliance, etc. We never intended to make this a product. But we watched revenue per employee grow from $130K to $215K We built >8k agents that do the work of ~600 employees It had such a dramatic impact on our business that today we are launching it for everyone. How it works: Say you're automating payment reconciliation: 1. Record your screen while manually matching a messy transaction and Akai will capture your screen, voice, server requests 2. Akai will see that you pulled unformatted wire transfer info from an archaic bank portal, put it in some excel sheet, checked NetSuite invoices, payment history, and put a ticket on Zendesk 3. Akai reads between the lines and build a workflow + steps + conditional guardrails. It learns tacit edge cases, like resolving malformed invoice references without you writing a single regex 4. Simply connect NetSuite, your ledger, Zendesk, PSPs, and even legacy bank portals with zero API access 5. Run the workflow and tell it what to adjust in plain English: "strip slashes on wire memos and auto-apply partial payments." It adapts instantly 6. Once it works for you, add 100s of colleagues. Your entire payment ops team forks and extends the workflow for new PSPs, secondary ledgers, or regional settlement rules 7. We automated 85% of our payment reconciliation end to end, eliminating 500+ hours of soul-crushing manual grunt work every single week. Claude Code/Codex can't do this in multiplayer mode. Every person rebuilds the same skill from scratch in their own way. Deel built Akai to: 1. Understand backend operations edge cases (it had to work for our 7000 person team first) 2. Collaborative across 1000s of employees 3. Self-Learning from millions of runs 4. Optimises cost and gets cheaper every run We're so confident that we're announcing an Automation Guarantee: If our engineers can't automate a thousand of hours of work in your first 30 days, you get a full refund. Book a demo: akai.run if you're an exec at a company with hundreds of employees

Designing for AI interactions? I can highly recommend the great collection seen here: shapeof.ai/ The site has an overview of many patterns that show how AI interactions can be made clear to the user. Definitely one of my go-to sites. #AIDesign #AIUXPatterns

Always a delight when your daily tools get quality of life updates. @figma introduced tab grouping and project folder structures in their desktop app. Relatively small changes, that make a huge difference organizing my files. Love it! 🥰

I'm really proud that @deel offers these kind of give backs and that as employees we can vote to support our favorite cause.
You can announce your values, or you can live them. We asked our team where Deel should give back. They chose @TBBforTalent and @technovation 🙌 Beyond the monetary donation, they also volunteered their own time to these organizations. Always proud of our Deelers!

I am so used to a fixed pay day, but with Anytime Pay you decide when you get paid. Same as with remote working, you are in control!
With Deel, payday is whenever you say. Tap Anytime Pay. Send a portion of what you've already earned to where your pay always lands. That's it. Work, pay, everything in between. In the Deel mobile app. Available on iOS and Android, link in comments.
