About

Max Miner

I’m a player/coach product and design leader, entrepreneur and artist with 17+ years of experience designing for Fortune 500 companies and startups, including 10+ years leading product, design, and engineering teams.

Currently, I lead design across product, brand, and marketing at Fluidstack. We build AI infrastructure at unprecedented scale and speed, which means the design work runs from internal tooling for the teams delivering datacenters, through the brand, out to the marketing site. I still write and ship the code.

Previously, I led the Product Lab at Invisible Technologies, a small hybrid team focused on infrastructure and 0-to-1 product discovery, design, and development for enterprise AI systems. Before that, I served as Executive Director of Product and Design at SkillsEngine, an AI-driven workforce analytics startup; co-founded a data privacy startup; and held design and strategy leadership roles at 72andSunny, RED Interactive (acquired), and R/GA, where I helped establish Google’s first embedded creative consulting team.

I hold a Masters Certificate (emphasis UX & Digital Production) from Boulder Digital Works, and a BA in Philosophy — both from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

When I’m not immersed in work, you can find me creating software and/or art, hitting the slopes to snowboard, and spending time with my family and friends.

Now
