Packy Savvenas Senior Product Designer

Available for full-time roles · Remote

I turn complex products into clear experiences that click.

I’m Packy. Whether I’m out photographing grizzlies or working through a difficult design problem, I know the value of staying calm and having patience. I bring experience to difficult decisions and a sense of direction to the team. I like helping teams work through their problems until we see a way forward and breathe a little better.

Paid product01

Where The Wild Beasts Roam

I designed and built a planner that turns trip details into a drive.

Public case study

Project impact

I designed and built a wildlife planner people use.

OutcomeI built the wildlife route planner from scratch for Yellowstone and Grand Teton, then rebuilt the website around it. I put the sample route up front so people could try it before buying. They can start with a suggested route or build their own around the wildlife and attractions they want to see, then save it as a PDF.

What happens nextI use website analytics and Hotjar to spot where the site needs work. Next I want to track where people finish or stop building a route and how often visitors who try the sample go on to buy.

Recruiting software02

Korn Ferry

I designed ways for recruiters to compare job profiles and review candidate updates, with shared components for the software rebuild.

Project impact

Their recruiting software is in deployment.

OutcomeOne of the things I designed was how recruiters find and compare job profiles without losing their current choice. I also prototyped ways to review candidate updates and created reusable Figma components for the recruiting tools. The case study shows a few examples of how I think and work on the broader redesign.

What happened nextThe team is building on my first design as the software moves through deployment. I continue working with the vice president, product managers, and engineers, and I maintain the shared Figma components.

B2B website03

Whip Around

I used buyer interviews to redesign and build the marketing website.

Project impact

A clear next step for fleet buyers.

OutcomeI spoke with fleet buyers, then redesigned and built the website around what they needed to know. I used their questions to decide what to explain first and where to show customer proof, so people could see how Whip Around could help their fleet and decide whether to start a free trial or book a demo.

What happened nextAfter launch, I reviewed analytics and heatmaps to see how people were using the website. I then used what I found to adjust the mobile layout and where I placed the trial and demo links.

Also from Where the Wild Beasts Roam

I designed and developed a game that helps people practice wildlife photography.

I shaped the lessons and camera behavior, then worked with AI to build and refine the game in the browser. People can try a setting, take a photo and see what changed.

04Website + Research Library

Wilder

I connected services and research in one nonprofit website.

I led the research and UX and worked with a creative director on the visual design. I built the WordPress site and connected the Research Library through the Presto API, XML updates, and ACF fields across thousands of pages.

Know the Dangers

I redesigned a clearer path to naloxone and other resources.

I used research and heatmap review to rethink the path to help. The redesign brought naloxone resources and other help actions into clearer view, with content and navigation organized for phones.

06Engineering website

KFI Engineers

I made KFI’s project work easier to discover.

I used interviews and site data to connect KFI’s project examples with its services and Careers pages. I led the UX, worked with a creative director on the visual design, and built the WordPress pages using ACF.

How I work

I make ideas easier for teams to understand and work through.

I help teams understand the problem, try an idea and get the details right.

I start by speaking with people about what they need to do and what’s getting in the way. Then I turn what I learn into screens and prototypes we can try together. I stay involved through the build so the team can work through the details with me.

I also use ChatGPT and Codex to build working prototypes, connect tools and automate repeat tasks, including confirmations and file delivery.

01Frame

First, I want to understand the problem.

I speak with the people I’m designing for and the team I’m working with. I use those conversations, along with the research and analytics, to work out what needs to change and why.

02Explore

I put the idea into screens we can try.

I use Figma to create screens and working prototypes so the team can see how the idea would work. We can try different paths and work through what needs to change before it gets built.

03Delivery

I stay involved while it gets built.

I work with engineers on the shared components, accessibility, and how each screen should work on phones and desktops. My HTML and CSS experience helps us talk through the details and check the work as it’s built.

04Improve

Once it’s live, I keep paying attention.

I use customer feedback and analytics to see how people are using what we built. I then use what I find to decide what needs attention and what to improve next.
