About Brian Vanaski
I’m a Principal Designer at LinkedIn, shaping the future of professional identity through AI-driven experiences. My work focuses on transforming unstructured conversations into structured profile updates, making it easier for members to showcase their expertise and connect with opportunities.Previously, as part of Team NEXT, I explored AI-powered innovations and led the strategy, design, and launch of Premium Company Pages, LinkedIn’s first new paid subscription in six years, helping small businesses grow.I thrive at the intersection of AI, strategy, and design, driving vision through high-fidelity prototypes, storytelling, and cross-functional collaboration.Beyond work, I’m a husband, father, and Dad Joke expert who founded Learn Funny Jokes. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me CrossFitting, geeking out on sci-fi, or making my wife and kids laugh.
