About Jaclyn Richardson

Curious and eager to learn. I’m enjoying the balance between AI and the way real humans experience work.My background spans product, engineering, HR, support, voice of customer, sales enablement and experience design. The common thread is simple. I remove friction so people can think clearly, feel supported, and do their best work.I’ve led efforts focused on manager capability, employee feedback, cross-team alignment, and AI-supported workflows, especially in complex environments where things rarely work perfectly the first time. I care about building systems that are easy to understand, grounded in real human behavior, and accessible to people with different needs and neurotypes.I’m particularly interested in AI for human wellbeing, including mental health support, neurodivergence, conversational tools, and anything that reduces cognitive load instead of adding to it. Clarity, psychological safety, and thoughtful design matter deeply to me.I’m drawn to purpose-driven work that improves how people feel and function in their everyday lives.
